The temperature of Earth's core can only be estimated using mathematical and geophysical models, and the current (2011) estimated temperature range is:
Outer core--from 4400'C in the outer regions near the mantle, to around 6100'C in the inner regions near the inner core (7,952 to 11,000oF).
Inner core--between 5,000 and 7,000 degrees C (9,000 to 12,630oF).

Last thing I read it was between 10,200 - 10,300 0F or roughly 6000-6100 Kelvin
In general, the temperature decreases towards the surface.
The melting temperature would drop. If it dropped to a point below the in-situ temperature, melting of the inner core would occur.
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.
Any rock mostly igneous rocks but in their molten state, because the inner core has a too high temperature.
Oil does not cool the Earth's core as it is located far away from the core and would simply burn up due to the sheer heat. The Earth's core is made of molten metal which keeps a relatively constant temperature.

In general, the temperature decreases towards the surface.
if you were traveling to the earths core, what would you see and what would the temperature be?
The temperature of the outer core ranges from 4400 °C in the outer regions to 6100 °C near the inner core.
Earth's core
Well theres no specific permanent temperature for the earths center, but only averages, ranges and approximates of temperatures. The earths centre which is the core, consists of two layers the inner core and the outer core. The outer core has a temperature of about 7200 - 9032 degree Fahrenheit (4000 - 5000 degree celsius), while the temperature of the inner core is about 9032 - 1082 degree Fahrenheit (5000 - 6000 degree celsius).
No animal living on earth can survive the temperatures in the earths core. The temperature is between 5000-9000 degrees.
The melting temperature would drop. If it dropped to a point below the in-situ temperature, melting of the inner core would occur.
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.
The Earths core is. And that would mean it is hotter than the Sun!!
