Which outer planet has a core that might be the size of earth and 10 times its mass?

What is the same size as the planet Mars?
With a radius of 3396km, the planet Mars is about the same size as the inner and outer core of the earth (which is around 3490km radius in total).
How many miles is it from the inner core to the outer core?
There is no distance between the two : the outer core is on top of the inner core of the Earth. The inner core is considered to be about 2440 km (1520 mi) in diameter, or the region up to about 1220 km from the center. The outer core extends about another 2266 km (1408 mi) outward, from around 1220 to 3486 km from the center. The outer core is therefore about 5150 km from the surface at sea level, this distance comprising the mantle (lower and upper) and the crust.
What planet is smaller than the earth's core?
The two smallest major planets, Mercury and Mars, are both smaller than the estimated size of the Earth's core (combined inner and outer core).Mercury has a diameter of about 4879 km and Mars is about 6792 km, compared to the Earth's core which is a sphere about 6972 km in diameter.All of the dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres) are smaller in diameter than even the Earth's solid inner core (~2440 km in diameter), although Eris is almost as large and Pluto only slightly smaller than Eris.-The Earth's inner core has a thickness (radius) of about 1220 km.-The Earth's outer core has a thickness (radius) of about 2266 km.
What is the average size of the outer planets?
The average sizes of the outer planets are smallest than the average size of the Pluto so that they can called them the dwarf planets.
Does the size of a core of a planet affect seismic activity on the surface?
yes
What is the actual size of earth's outer core?
The outer core lies at a depth from 2900 km to 5150 km.
What is the size of the earth's outer core?
The size of the earth is 2521 KM to 5150 KM.

How large is moon's electromagnetic field?
The size of the moons electro-magnetic field is proportional to the composition of it's core(not unlike an iron core from a electromagnet), the insulation of the core to the outer surface(not unlike the outer windings of an electro-magnet) and whatever atmosphere it may have. It is approxamately 83% the size of the Earths electromagnetic-field.
What is the most common men's coat size?
An outer coat size of LARGE will fit chest measurements of 42" to 44".
How long is the outer core?
The outer core is approximately 2,260 km thick extending from 5150 km below Earth's surface to 2890 km (the core mantle boundary or Gutenberg discontinuity) The outer core has a volume of 1.6760x1011 km3.
Is the core really the size of Mars?
Mars' radius is 3376 km, the core (inner and outer combined) has a radius of 3482 km. They're close. Comment: I guess the question is about the Earth's core. The answer fits that.

What is the size of Earth's inner core?
The solid inner core if the Earth is 2,400 kilometers in diameter. The fluid outer core is about 7,000 kilometers in diameter.
When a red giant loses its outer layers and the core shrinks to one - millionth of its original size what type of star is formed?
A white dwarf.
