The earth pin is physically thicker to create a larger surface area. When it makes contact with the ground in the receptacle it is more positive and secure a contact. Also a larger surface area reduces the resistance between the two surfaces which is what is required in the grounding system.

Which is thicker the mantle or the two core layers cobmine?
The two core layers (outer and inner core) are denser and thicker than the mantle. The mantle is the layer between the core and the crust of the Earth, and it is thicker than the core layers.
Why do astronomers conclude that the crust on mars must be thicker than Earths crust?
Astronomers concluded that the crust on Mars must be thicker than Earth's crust because Mars lacks tectonic activity like Earth's plate tectonics, which recycles crustal material. This lack of recycling means that Mars's crust has likely accumulated over a longer period, resulting in a thicker crust compared to Earth's crust.
