An airplane relies on engines and wings for lift and propulsion, flying within Earth's atmosphere. A rocket, on the other hand, carries its own fuel and oxidizer for propulsion in space and doesn't need wings to generate lift. Additionally, rockets achieve thrust by expelling propellant at high speeds.

Was an airplane or a rocket invented first?
The airplane was invented before the rocket. The Wright brothers successfully flew the first powered airplane in 1903, while the first successful liquid-fueled rocket launch occurred in 1926 by Robert Goddard.
What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
Do rockets have wing?
A rocket is a form of propulsion. If a rocket is used to power an airplane, it is referred to as a rocket-plane, and has wings like an airplane. It the rocket is use to propel a vehicle vertically, which does not need wicgs to provide lift, it is called simply a rocket. Sometimes fins are used to stabilize or guide a rocket in flight, but these are referred to as fins rather than wings.
What is the difference in propultion between an airplane a spacecraft?
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
How is it possible for a rocket to propel itself through space?
This is possible via the conservation of momentum. A rocket ejects matter from its back and this matter carries momentum. To conserve momentum the rocket must gain an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction. Since momentum is related to velocity this causes the rocket to move. This is basically an application of Newton's third law. You might have been confused with the situation in air. For example an airplane moves through air by pushing air past it (using its propeller). This accelerates the air, and thus increases its momentum. The airplane must therefore gain momentum in the opposite direction, and accelerates itself as well. The only difference between the airplane and the rocket is that the rocket carries the stuff it accelerates (and ejects) while the airplane can use the air that is already present all around it. Note that while this is the basic explanation, the situation with the rocket is made somewhat more complicated by the fact that as the rocket loses fuel it also loses momentum because momentum is velocity times mass and the lost fuel lowers the mass of the rocket. You might want to look up Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation if you want more information.
What is the difference between rocket flight and airplane flight?
A plane needs air, a rocket doesn't.
What is a type of rocket that lands like an airplane?
The space shuttle Is a type of rocket that lands like an airplane.
