rocket fuel

Rocket fuel is a chemical substance that provides the energy needed for a rocket to launch and travel in space. It consists of two main components: a fuel, which is the energetic material that burns, and an oxidizer, which supplies the oxygen the fuel needs to burn in the vacuum of space. When combined and ignited, they produce hot gases that rapidly expand and escape through the rocket's nozzle, generating thrust that propels the rocket forward. Different types of rocket fuels, such as liquid or solid, are used depending on the mission's requirements, offering various advantages in power and controllability.
