Rocket work

How Does a Rocket Work?
Like most engines, rockets burn fuel. Most rocket engines convert fuel into hot gas coming out of their backs. So they have to use liquid fuel. The fuel (liquid hydrogen, gasoline, or kerosene for example) is pumped into a combustion chamber with an oxidizer (like liquid oxygen) and then burned into a very high-pressure gas. The gas is forced out the back of the rocket, forcing the rest of the shuttle forward.
The rocket is different from a jet engine. Jet engines need air to work while rockets do not require air because rockets carry everything they need including oxygen. So, rockets can work outside of space where there is no air.
There are two main types of rocket engines. Some rockets use liquid fuels. Other rockets use solid fuel.
