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.
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.
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.
