If you drill, you will go through the Earth's crust, and for approx 1,800 miles of solid material (called the mantle). After that you will enter the core, which is made of iron and nickel, but the temperature goes up to 3700º Celcius and therefore is in liquid form.
So, to answer your question, no, you cannot drill into the core of the earth.

Are geologists able to drill to the center of earth?
No they arent able to because earths inner core is to hot for them to drill!
Can you drill into earths core?
no
How do you power geothermal energy?
From the heat of the Earth's core. How ? You drill down until you get to a place where its hot enough to do whatever you want.
What kind of supplies do you need to go to the center of the earth?
to do it fast, you need a HUGE drill and a futuristic type of metal that can withstand the hot intensity of the earth's core.
What are cylindrical samples of ocean sediment?
also called core samples. reason is that they drill into the material with a hollow drill removing the core for analysys.

A sample collected by drilling into Earth's surface with a hollow drill and pulling out a column of soil and rocks?
a core sample
How deep a hole do we have the technology to drill?
About 1/8 into the earth. The core is pretty deep down.
Is it possible to drill a hole from North Pole to South Pole through the earth 7900miles?
Physically, this may be an impossibility, given the material you'd be required to drill through, including the Earth's molten core.
How long will it take to drill through the crust?
Currently we cannot drill to the center of the Earth because no drill could withstand the temperatures in Earth's interior. The deepest hole ever drilled reached a depth of 12,262 meters (40,230 ft) or about 7.6 miles before it stopped working properly due to the heat. Earth has a radius of nearly 4,000 miles. Even if we had a drill that could withstand the temperatures of Earth's core, the outer core is liquid and features active convection currents.
How do scientist learn about the mantle and core on earth?
they cut cross-sections of layers using a specially made drill

Is it possible for humans to reach the core of the earth?
It is impossible because any drill built cannot withstand the heat of the core and a human would vaporise before he could reach the core due to the heat.

What is differences the mantle and core?
The core is the middle and the mantle is the 3rd layer
What are some locations for Core Drill Bits?
A good location to buy Core Drill Bits online is the Diamond Tool Store Website. Core Drill Bits can also be found for sale on the official Amazon website.
