What is Newton's Third Law?

For Every Action, There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction.

When the Rocket blasts off, the site that is used will get destroyed.

There is an action, based off of another action.

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.
