Earth's core has a diameter of 6970 km. Since the size of a school bus can vary significantly, let's say that the bus used in this instance is about 12 meters (or 40 ft) long. If you were to line these school buses end to end across the core of the Earth, you would need about 580 buses.

If, however, you are wanting to fill the entire core with school buses, then the calculation becomes more complicated - especially if you want to keep the buses whole (and not deformed). In this case, let's keep it simple, and calculate the volume of school buses that would fit within the core. Let's also say that the buses are 12 meters long, 3 meters tall, and 2.5 meters wide.

The volume of each bus would then be: length x height x width = 12 x 3 x 2.5 = 90 m3

The volume of the core of the Earth would be: 4/3 π r3 = 4/3 π (3485)3 = 177295191310 m3

Now, because we are keeping things simple, let's divide the volume of the core of the Earth by the volume of a single bus to see how many buses we will need:

177295191310 / 90 = 1,969,946,570

Thus: close to 2 billion school buses would fit inside the Earth's core.

What are two facts about earths core?

1.The Earth's core is composed of heavy elements, such as iron, nickel, and the other heavy elements. 2. Due to gravitational compression, and the presence of radioactivity, the core is very hot (perhaps 6 000oC) and very dense. The inner core is solid due to gravitational pressure. The outer core is liquid or at least plastic.

Convection in the What creates earths magnetic filed?

Earth's molten outer core rotates. That outer core is made up mostly of molten iron. The movement of the molten iron produces the magnetic field.When currents in the outer core force the solid inner core to spin at a slightly faster rate than the rest of the planet causes the Earth to have a magnetic field.
