Best Answer

A rocket engine and a rocket motor are both things that make rockets go. The engine uses fuel and something special called an oxidizer to create fire, like in a car. The motor, on the other hand, carries its own special stuff to make fire, so it's like a simpler version. Engines are fancier but motors are simpler.
