How does newtons third law explain how a rocket takes off

 Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward. This creates an equal and opposite push on the exhaust gas backwards.

NEWTON'S THIRD LAW IS "FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION"
SO, HERE ROCKET IS GOING UPWARDS IN THE SPACE WITH A SPEED THEN THE ATMOSPHERE ALSO APPLIES THE SAME SPEED ON THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. SO, HERE NEWTON'S THIRD LAW IS APPLIED

THANKS, HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
