Can you use petrol as a fuel in rocket engine?

Rocket fuel contains oxygen, which is not found in space. A rocket in space could theoretically work in space if it were to carry its own oxygen, but other fuels such as hydrogen are more efficient.

Are space planes more efficient than rockets?

They are believed to be as the entire space plane is reusable instead of most of a rocket being discarded on every mission. However the space shuttle system was supposed to be more efficient than ordinary rockets because most of the vehicle was reusable, but it actually turned out less efficient for unmanned launches. One must be careful to consider all costs and tradeoffs and this is not easy for new not yet tried systems that might have unanticipated issues.


What is the comparative for efficient?

More efficient and most efficient are the comparative and superlative forms of "efficient".


What is the difference between a multistage rocket and a single-stage rocket?

A single stage rocket consists of only a single set of rocket engines and fuel containers. This assembly is used for the entire journey. A multistage rocket consists of several sets of engines and fuel containers that are used in succession. When the fuel of one stage is spent it detaches from the rocket to get rid of the weight and the next set of engines is ignited. Multistage rockets are far more efficient at getting things into space.
