A missile is a rocket that has a guidance system that can steer the vehicle after launched. A rocket has none such system; basicaly, point-and-launch.
missile is also a rocket but the difference is that, it hold explosive for mass destruction. a rocket is just use to propelling vehicle like in satellites etc. missiles are self guided by the help of inertial navigation system.
A missile is anything thrown or projected. A rocket uses rocket propulsion - throwing out hot gasses in order to move in the opposite direction. In practice most rockets can be considered to be missiles and most missiles are rockets. in the military a rocket is unguided en a missile is guided, think about GPS or a wire that is in the back of the missile an attached to the launcher an can steered to the target.
A missile is guided and capable of changing its trajectory during flight, while a rocket is unguided and follows a pre-determined path.
A rocket powered projectile is typically called a rocket or a missile. It is a self-propelled, guided projectile that uses rocket propulsion to fly.
An atomic bomb is an explosive device that obtains its energy from the atomic nucleus. it is equally valid to call it a nuclear bomb, and it can obtain this energy through either of the processes of fission and/or fusion. There are many ways an atomic bomb can be delivered to its target: aircraft, unguided rocket, guided missile, cruise missile, torpedo, depth charge, hand carried, landmine (the target comes to it), artillery shell, jeep/tripod mounted bazooka, etc. Atomic bombs were also proposed and tested for several peaceful uses: blasting for construction (e.g. highways, railroads, canals), oil industry (e.g. natural gas extraction, oil extraction from tar sands), spacecraft propulsion (Project Orion 1958 to 1963), etc. A nuclear missile usually means a guided missile with an atomic bomb (aka warhead) as its payload, the guided missile is the means of delivering that atomic bomb to its target. However it is also possible in some circumstances to interpret nuclear missile as equivalent to nuclear rocket. A nuclear rocket uses a nuclear reactor to heat a gas (e.g. hydrogen) to propel the rocket, as usually visualized the payload of a nuclear rocket is a deep space probe of some kind (but it could just as easily be a manned spacecraft or an atomic bomb).
A rocket is a vehicle that carries people or cargo into space, while a missile is a weapon designed to be launched at a target.
A missile is a weapon designed to be guided to a specific target, while a rocket is a vehicle that is propelled by an engine using combustion of fuel.
Yes, a missile is considered a type of rocket.

Powerful is a matter of opinion. The term missile, does not related to the warhead, so potentially the US still has the Saturn V rocket which would be the most powerful missile/rocket.
During the 1950's, the primary motive for the development of rocket and missile technology by the US was for the long-range delivery of weapons. This was during the Cold War between the US and Russia.

A missile is guided and capable of changing its trajectory during flight, while a rocket is unguided and follows a pre-determined path.
a rocket is an unguided weapon while a missile is a optically/ wire guided/ radar/ heat tracking weapon which is designed for precision targeting. ie: rocket pod on an AH-64 (no guidance) or Javelin missile ( Heat Tracking)
A missile is a weapon designed to be guided to a specific target, while a rocket is a vehicle that propels itself through space or the atmosphere. Missiles are typically used for military purposes, while rockets can be used for various purposes such as space exploration or transportation.
