The core of the Earth, about 4,216 kilometers across and 2635 miles, is thought to be divided into an outer core of liquid iron and a nearly solid iron inner core about 1,500 miles in diameter.

How thick are the outer and inner core?

The outer core of the Earth is about 2,200 kilometers thick, while the inner core is approximately 1,200 kilometers thick. The outer core is composed of molten iron and nickel, while the inner core is solid due to high pressure.


How thick is earths inner core?

The inner core is 1216 km and made of solid iron. It is approx 5000 degrees C and it doesnt melt because of everything else pushing down on it.


How thick is the inner core plus the outer core?

The distance from the boundary between the mantle and the outer core, to the center of the Earth, is around 3,470 km, or 2,156 miles.


How thick is the inner core of the earth?

The inner core of the Earth is approximately 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) thick. It is a solid metal sphere primarily composed of iron and nickel at extreme temperatures and pressures. The inner core is surrounded by the liquid outer core.

What is the distance of the inner core?

The earth's inner core is 3160 kilometers beneath the earths surface. The inner core is a solid ball of nickel-iron alloy.


Is the core hot and plastic or semi solid and approximately 186 miles thick?

The Earth's core is hot and made up of a liquid outer core and a solid inner core. The outer core is around 1,400 miles thick and the inner core is about 760 miles in radius. The temperatures at the core boundary can reach over 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit.


How are the inner and the outer core different?

The inner core - the centre of earth - is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F (7,200°C = 7,500 K), which is hotter than the surface of the Sun. The inner core (which has a radius of about 750 miles (1,228 km) is solid. The outer core is so hot that the metal is always molten. The outer core is about 1370 miles (2,200 km) thick. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins around the inner core and that causes the earth's magnetism. The outer core is in a liquid state and is about 1,400 miles (2,260 km) thick.


How many miles thicker are the outer core and inner core together than the mantle?

The radial thickness of the inner and outer core is equal to 3,486 km (2,166 miles). The mantle is 2,885 km (1,793 miles) thick. As such the inner and outer core combined is 601 km (373 miles) thicker than the mantle.


What is the earths outer core?

The outer core is a liquid that is in between the inner core and mantle. It is 2,000km thick.
