Question

Rocket can move in air free space but a jet plane cannot.why?

Open in App

Solution

A rocket carries oxygen with fuel so that fuel can be burnt with the help of oxygen in space which results in release of hot gases which lets rockets move in space. but a jet carries only fuel since it gets oxygen from our Earth's atmosphere therefore it can't work in space.

Hope this helps :)
