The reason that the inner core is a solid and the outter core is a liquid is because the inner core is the greatest amount of pressure from the other layers. Why the outter core is a liquid is because inside of it is metal that just flows around in there.

Is the inner core or the outer core solid?
In inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid. This is because the inner core, being deeper, is under more pressure.
Is the outer core soild or liquid?

What is earths core mostly made out of?
The Inner (solid) and Outter (liquid) Core are made up of Nickel and Iron.
Which state of matter is the outter core?
The outer core is a liquid while the inner core is a solid due to the pressure... But the outer core is a liquid due to the fact that it doesn't have the WHOLE Earth around it.

Is the inner and outer core together solid and liquid?
Well, the outer core is made of liquid and the inner core is solid so i guess in a way it kind of is solid and liquid.
Inner core state of matter?
the inner core is a solid
Is the solid outer core more dense than the liquid inner core?
This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
Is the inner core mostly a liquid or solid?
The inner core is currently thought to be entirely solid.
