What are bottle rockets?
Bottle rockets are fireworks which are designed to have a small size, but formidable power. They are a type of sky rocket, meaning that they will rapidly climb high into the sky before exploding. The “bottle” in their name probably arises from the tradition of deploying bottle rockets from bottles, allowing the person firing them off to step well out of range after lighting the fuse. The term is also used to describe water rockets, rockets which use old soda bottles as a body and water for propulsion.
