No. The core of the Earth is, we believe, mostly iron. We're not sure what the Moon's core is made of, but it's something substantially lighter than the Earth.
In fact, the core of the Earth is larger and more dense, we believe, than any other planet.
We believe that when the solar system was very young, a pre-Earth collided with another planet perhaps as large as Mars. The cores of the two planets merged, which is why the Earth has a larger-than-expected iron core. Much of the surface material was blasted back into space. The impact completely re-formed the Earth, and some of the material blown into space coalesced to form the Moon.
Comments: I agree the composition of the Moon's core is uncertain, but it
could be quite similar to Earth's, including the fact that it is partly molten.

How many times larger is earths cicumference than the moons circumference?
Their circumferences are in the same ratio as their diameters.
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
What colors are earths two moons?
Red and green.
What is the core of Venus' made of?
the core of venus is very similar to the core of earth, as it is earths twin planet. therefore the the core of venus is made of the same elements as earths core, iron and nickel, both magnetic and it is these elements that create our magnetic field.
How big is earths moons compared to other planets?
Small
Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?
Earth's core
When you are you closer to the Moon's surface or the earths core?
None, only the earths core is more closer, the moons surface is 37.000 Vertices from earth
Is it true that the moons average density is similar to the density of earths core?
No, I don't think...
Is the moons inner and outer core the same as earth?
no
Is mars the same size as the earths core?
no
Why is the core of the moon dead while Earths is active?
The Moon is a lot smaller than the Earth, therefore, Moons once active core has cooled down so much It's now hardened.
How many times larger is earths cicumference than the moons circumference?
Their circumferences are in the same ratio as their diameters.
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
The possible source of earths magnetic core is?
The molten iron and medals inside the earths core are the reasons for the earths magnetic core.
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
A lunar eclipse
Is there a bunny in the earths core?
no it is not true. there is solid iron and nickel in the Earths core
When standing at sea level which are you nearer to the earths core or the Moon's surface?
Earths core
