How and why did mars lose its atmosphere?
Mars had a molten core that eventually cooled. Causing it to loose its magnetic field allowing solar winds and radiation to "wipe out" its atmosphere.
What is inside of all of the planets?
Different for each planet. Earth has a core of molten iron and rock. The Moon appears to be solid to the core, having cooled a long time ago. Venus is probably still molten at the core; heck the SURFACE is nearly molten. Mars is smaller and further away, so may have a small molten core or may be solid iron and rock. The gas giant planets may have small rocky cores, or may be gasses compressed to metallic solids by the immense pressure. We will have to do more studies to find out.
Does the moon have large molten core?
No, because it doesn't have a two part core
How is iron made from a star?
in its core there is molten iron
How big is the core of mars?
It is as big as an apple core
Is there a crust mantle and core on Mars?
Mars is not volcanically active, which leads us to believe that there is no molten interior. The planet is "frozen."

Is the core of the earth molten?
Part of it is. The outer core is molten while the inner core is solid.
What is the inner layer of Mars made up of?
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.
What layer of earth is made up of hot molten rocks?
The outer core is the only molten layer of the Earth. == ==

Why do astronomers conclude that the crust on mars is thicker than earth's crust?
Mars is smaller than Earth and consequently cooled quicker. Mars no longer has a molten core like Earth, so it would be fair to say it has a thicker crust.
Is molten iron and nickel in the outer core spinning?
Yes! The molten iron and nickel in the outer core is spinning.
When will Earth become geologically inactive?
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
Is the inner core molten?
The inner core is solid due to pressure. With less pressure on it, the outer core is liquid.
What has Mars lost that Earth may too?
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.
Is there a core on Mars?
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.
