The kinetic energy that sends the rocket skyward is transferred to it primarily from the **chemical potential energy of the rocket fuel**.
When the rocket's engines ignite, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy and then into kinetic energy as the exhaust gases expand and are expelled out of the rocket nozzles, propelling the rocket upward.
