The Rocket

A rocket is a vehicle designed to travel into space by burning fuel to generate powerful thrust. It works on Newton’s third law: as the engine expels exhaust gases at high speed downward, the rocket is pushed upward. Rockets have multiple stages that drop away as their fuel is used, making the vehicle lighter and allowing it to reach higher speeds and altitudes. They are essential for launching satellites, space probes, and astronauts beyond Earth's atmosphere, enabling exploration and communication across the universe.
