Its quit tricky. Answer is yes. Its because of the electro magnetic radiations of sun that causes high temperature at surface. So surface temperature is nearly same to core temperature

Is the core of the earth hotter than the core of the moon?

The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.

The temperature of the Inner Core of the earth is about 5700 deg C. The outer core, and the mantle both have a similar temperature. This is about the same as the surface of the sun. That is why very hot lava is yellow - that indicates its temperature.


Why is it hot when we go deeper to the earth?

Because the center of the Earth (which is solid) is surrounded by a molten outer core of nickel/iron at a temperature of 6,000C, (as hot as the surface of the Sun). This heat is caused by the radioactive decay of heavy radioactive elements that sank to the core with the iron cascade.
