The moon is believed to have a small, solid iron core surrounded by a partially molten outer core. This molten region is thought to be much smaller than that of Earth because the moon is much smaller and has cooled more rapidly. It does not have a large molten core like Earth.
Mars no longer has a magnetic field. Look at earth for a moment. The earth's magnetic field is generally thought to be the product of dynamo action associated with motion (currents) in the molten fluid core of the earth. Other planets that have magnetic fields are, in general, thought to have this same or a similar source for their fields. Mars no longer has a molten core. Our studies have revealed that there are parts of the crust of Mars that have been magnetized. We see that these areas have a residual magnetic field that has been left as an "impression" of the original magnetic field of the red planet. And that field has changed polarity at different times over the period when Mars still actually had a natural magnetic field and it magnetized portions of the crust. A link to the Wikipedia article on Mars is provided.
Yes, Mars has an iron core, similar to Earth. The presence of an iron core impacts Mars' geology by influencing its magnetic field. However, Mars' magnetic field is much weaker than Earth's due to its smaller size and slower cooling process, which has led to less active geological processes on the planet.
no
No one is really sure what the layers of mars are.Read below for some heads up...Last year Mars Global Surveyor spotted terrains on Mars that look like sedimentary rock deposits. If the mysterious layers formed underwater, as some scientists suspect, they may be a good place to hunt for Martian fossils.
it has the same core as earth, just on another planet
Mars is not volcanically active, which leads us to believe that there is no molten interior. The planet is "frozen."
Part of it is. The outer core is molten while the inner core is solid.
The interior of Mars is thought to consist of a solid iron core, a molten outer core, and a rocky mantle. It is believed to lack the strong magnetic field that Earth has, possibly due to its cooler core. Scientists continue to study Mars' interior using data from satellite missions and landers.
The core of Mars is made up of molten rocky mantle, denser than Earth's. Probably contains a large fraction of sulfur, in addition to iron.
Only the Earth is known to have a core that includes liquid metal.However, Jupiter and Saturn do have regions composed of metallic liquid hydrogen. Also, there is some evidence that Mercury and Venus may have liquid metal in their cores. Mars may have some liquid metallic sulfide in its core.
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==
Yes! The molten iron and nickel in the outer core is spinning.
Yes, the Earth has a large molten core composed mostly of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid, while the inner core is solid due to high pressure. This molten core generates the planet's magnetic field.
in aprox 2.5 billion years due to the solidification of earth molten core, unlike mars who's core has already solidifyed resulting in the dead planet we see today
Mars has lost its molten core (and as a result, it's magnetic field), its liquid water, and most of its atmosphere. These may someday happen to Earth, though hopefully not for billions of years.
scientist are looking into it, but there is no definite news that there is a core. If there is no core that explains why there is no life on mars and humans can also not live on mars then.
