Scientists determined that the Earth has layers through studying how seismic waves travel. These seismic waves differed depending on how thick the layer was.
Determine the age of the layers of rocks
Severals methods are all combined to give the scientist info on the layers of the Earth. For example they study the influence of the earth on orbits of the moon and other planets (mass distribution of the earth, mass density). They study the way seismic waves go through the earth which gives knowledge of layers. They use wave to sound. They examine sample of earth.
making inferences based on data from seismic waves.
Scientists have been able to determine the composition of earth's layers using various ways. In most cases, samples have been taken and studied so as to determine the layers of the earth.

Titan is like early earth.
When the Earth first formed, there was an abundant amount of deuterium in the atmosphere. Today, most of the deuterium has fused into helium and because of that, there is little deuterium left.

Scientists used detectors which determined the mantle existed. As well, scientists must hypothesize and theorize what cannot be readily seen, and make determinations based on the evidence that does exist.
