🚀 How do rockets fly into space?

Rockets fly into space like big, strong birds! 🚀 They have special engines that make fire and smoke to push them up, up, up into the sky! 🌌

When the rocket's engine starts, it pushes down on the ground so hard that the rocket goes up super fast! It's like when you blow up a balloon and let it go—whoosh! 🎈

Rockets fly into space using powerful engines that burn fuel to create thrust. 🚀 Thrust is the force that pushes the rocket upward against Earth's gravity. 🌍

Rockets work by Newton's Third Law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." When the engine pushes exhaust gases down, the rocket is pushed up! 🔥

They also have multiple stages. Each stage has its own fuel tank and engine. When one runs out, it drops off to make the rocket lighter!

Rockets reach space by overcoming Earth's gravity through controlled explosions in their engines. 🚀 Here's how it works:

• Thrust & Combustion: Rocket engines mix fuel (like liquid hydrogen) with oxidizers to create a high-pressure gas explosion, generating thrust.
• Staging: Most rockets use multiple stages. As each stage burns out, it detaches, reducing weight and increasing efficiency.
• Orbit: To stay in space, rockets must reach ~28,000 km/h (17,500 mph)—this is called orbital velocity!

Advanced rockets like SpaceX’s Falcon 9 even land back on Earth to be reused! 🌎
