DevinRockets work better in space than in air. In space, rockets don't have to overcome the resistance caused by air, allowing them to achieve higher speeds and more efficient propulsion. In contrast, in the Earth's atmosphere, rockets have to fight against air resistance which hinders their performance.

Why will a rocket work in space when there isn't any air?
Rockets in space carry both the fuel and oxidizer with them into space.
What is the US cape from which rockets are launched into space?
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, located in Florida, is one of the primary launch sites for rockets headed into space. It is also home to the Kennedy Space Center.
Why rocket fly in space instead of air?
Rockets work in space because they carry their own fuel and do not require oxygen from the air to burn it. In the vacuum of space, rockets create thrust by expelling mass at high speeds through their engines, propelling them forward. This makes them independent of the presence of air for propulsion.
Can compressed air work as a purpulsion system in space?
Compressed air would not work as a propulsion system in space because it requires the presence of a medium, such as the Earth's atmosphere, for propulsion. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium to push against, so compressed air would not produce any thrust. Space propulsion systems typically rely on methods such as chemical rockets or ion engines that do not require an external medium.
Do wings work in space?
As sails are classified as a propulsive wing, and such craft have been designed to sail on solar winds, the amazing, but true answer to this question would be yes.Previous AnswerNo since there is no air to move over them or provide lift.
