Is there a bunny in the earths core?

What is the center and hottest layer of the earth?
The center and hottest layer of the earth is the Inner Core. It reaches over 5000+ °C. It's an alloy of iron and nickel. It's solid because of all of the pressure built up on top of it, and the outer core is liquid iron and nickel.
What are facts about earth's inner core?
-the inner core of the earth has temperatures and pressures so great, that metals are squeezed together and not able to move. -the inner core is a solid because of the high pressure -the core is 800 miles or 2000 km in diameter. -The temperature of the core is more than 4,400 degrees c. or 9032-10832 degrees F It is a solid because of all the pressure it gets or has. -It is the final layer of the earth. -It is mostly made up of iron and a little amount of nickel. -it generates a magnetic field -its density is about 15g/cm3

Does earth's molten core affect gravity?
First: The earths core is not molten, it is a very dense solid mass, kept solid by the intense pressure on it. Second: It is the layer around this core that is molten, and yes it does influence gravity, but more so earths magnetism.
