ANSWER :-
In space, rockets zoom around with no air to push against. What's going on? Rockets and engines in space behave according to Isaac Newton's third law of motion: Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. When a rocket shoots fuel out one end, this propels the rocket forward — no air is required.

The unique features of rockets that make them useful include the following:
1. Rockets can operate in space as well as in the atmosphere of Earth.
2. They can be built to deliver very high thrust (a modern heavy space booster has a takeoff thrust of 3,800 kilonewtons (850,000 pounds).
3. The propulsion system can be relatively simple.
4. The propulsion system can be kept in a ready-to-fire state (important in military systems).
5. Small rockets can be fired from a variety of launch platforms, ranging from packing crates to shoulder launchers to aircraft (there is no recoil).
