A rocket is launched from the surface of the Earth.
Another identical rocket is launched from the International Space Station.
Why does the rocket launched from the Earth need a bigger thrust?
The gravity of the Earth gets bigger further away from the Earth
There is no gravity in space so less thrust is needed
The gravity of the Earth does not affect the thrust needed
The gravity of the Earth gets smaller further away from the Earth
