what is the difference between rocket aand a missile?

Answer 1

A rocket is not built for any sort of destruction. It is sent in the outer space to explore different parts of the universe. On the other hand, missiles are created for the purpose of destruction. They are developed to kill people, on a large scale. Both devices can be controlled from a distance.

Answer 2

A missile is any weapon which flies toward its target. What we usually think of when we think of the word “missile” is a rocket that carries an explosive payload; but really, a missile could be anything from a rock that you pick up off the ground and throw at an enemy, to a spear, an arrow, a bullet, up to a multi-staged rocket carrying multiple MIRV-type nuclear weapons. A rocket, of course, is simply a non-air-breathing object which is propelled by shooting a stream of gases out behind it. (Slightly–better definition than my original, courtesy of my brother.) A rocket may be used as a missile, or it may be used in an entirely different way.

Answer 3

Rocket-powered missiles are known as rockets if they lack post-launch guidance or missiles or guided missiles if they are able to continue tracking a target after launch.

Answer 4

A missile has a guidance system and a rocket does not.

Answer 5

A missle has an explosive device on the nose, and a rocket has none.
