In the planet Mercury, closest to the Sun? Difficult to know for sure, because we've never landed a probe there. But Mercury is the second-densest planet, after Earth. So we expect that Mercury has a fairly large iron core, with a crust at least vaguely similar to Earth's, made up of silicate rock.
