How do rockets work?

Can you explain how rockets work?

Sure! Rockets work on the principle of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What fuels do rockets use?

Rockets typically use liquid or solid propellants. Liquid rockets use fuels like liquid oxygen and hydrogen, while solid rockets use a mixture of fuel and oxidizer.

How do rockets achieve lift-off?

Rockets achieve lift-off by generating thrust that exceeds their weight. The engines expel gas at high speed, propelling the rocket upward.

What are the stages of a rocket launch?

A typical rocket launch involves several stages: ignition, lift-off, stage separation, and reaching orbit. Each stage has its own engines and fuel.

Can you tell me about the different types of rockets?

Certainly! There are several types of rockets, including orbital rockets, suborbital rockets, and sounding rockets, each designed for specific missions.
