Is the core 1 percent of the Earth's volume?
No. The combined thickness of the inner and outer core is about 3500 to 3520 kilometers, out of the Earth's total radius of about 6370 kilometers. This means that the combination of inner solid core and liquid outer core has about 16% of the Earth's volume. *The reference to "1% of the Earth's volume" may refer to the Earth's crust, which has about "1% of the Earth's total mass."
Does the core of the earth makes up two thirds of the earth?
False. The earth has a radius of 6,371 km. As such it has a volume of:1.083x1012 km3 The Earth's core has a radius of 3400 km. As such it has a volume of 0.164x1012 km3 1.083x1012 / 0.164x1012 = approx. 6.6 Therefore the Earth's core composes approximately 1/6th the total volume of Earth.
What s the layer of the Earth which contains most of the Earth's volume?
the inner core of the earth...
What is the volume of Earth's ice?
The core consists of an inner solid core with a radius of 760 miles, and an outer liquid core with a total diameter of 1400 miles. Applying the 4/3pi(r3) volume formula to these values we get: 1.8 billion cubic miles for the solid core and 11.7 billion cubic miles for the total outer and inner core volume. This compares to a total volume for the earth of 32.5 billion cubic miles.
What are the layers of the earth about?
There is the Crust, Mantle, Outer core, and Inner core. There isn't really much to them. They are just the layers of the Earth
How much of the earth's mass is made up by the core?

What percentage of the earth is the mantel?
to the US Geological Survey, the mantle is 84% of Earth's volume. The core is 15%, which doesn't leave much for the crust.
What s the layer of the Earth which contains most of the Earth's volume?
the inner core of the earth...

How much time does it take to mine to the Earth's core?
It is impossible to mine Earth's core.
What is the volume of Earth's ice?
The core consists of an inner solid core with a radius of 760 miles, and an outer liquid core with a total diameter of 1400 miles. Applying the 4/3pi(r3) volume formula to these values we get: 1.8 billion cubic miles for the solid core and 11.7 billion cubic miles for the total outer and inner core volume.

What is the thinnest of Earths spheres?
The Earth can be divided into four main layers: the solid crust on the outside, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. Out of them, the crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth, amounting for less than 1% of our planet's volume .
How much deep is the core of the Earth?
