Thin
I think the answer is thin; the crust is between 3 and 30 miles thick; less than 1% of the diameter of the Earth.
Thin
That's called the crust. The size of the crust compared to the size of the Earth's mantle can be compared to the size of the radius of an apple as the mantle and the apple's skin as the thickness of the crust. the crust is broken up into several plates that float and move around on the mantle's molten surface.
False. The Earth's crust is relatively thin and light compared to the underlying mantle and core. The crust is made up of lighter materials such as rock, while the mantle and core are composed of denser materials.
The answer is subduction. In locations around the world, ocean crust subducts, or slides under, other pieces of Earth's crust. Deep below the Earth's surface, subduction causes partial melting of both the ocean crust and mantle as they slide past one another.

The Earth's crust is thin compared to the rest of the layers such as the mantle and core. In scaled drawings, the crust is often represented as a very thin line because it is a small proportion of the Earth's total diameter. This makes it difficult to visually represent the thickness of the crust accurately on a scaled drawing.
it's smaller than the Earth, about the size of Mars
pretty close to the same
An atom is the size of an orange compared to the Earth.
Because by actual measurement, the "crust" of the earth, in relation to the size of the earth, is just about as thick as the skin of the apple in relation to the rest of the apple.
Due to the mass or size of Pluto compared to Earth, about 2/3 the size of our moon, the gravitational pull of Pluto is greatly weaker than Earth's.
