Does the moon have a large molten core?
The moon's core is thought to be partially liquid, but not necessarily "large" compared to the moon's overall size. The liquid outer core is believed to be small relative to the size of the moon as a whole.
How could you test a hypothesis that the moons core is liquid?
Planetary or satellite interiors can be investigated by studying the way shock waves travel through the planet (when they pass through a boundary layer, such as the boundary between a solid and a liquid, they will refract, just like light going through a lens). So, if you set off a bomb on the surface of the moon and test the resulting shock waves with seismometers, you would get useful data. I will add that we already have good reason to think that the moon does not have a liquid core, but there would be no harm in doing further tests.
Is the moon solid?
This phenomenon has to do with melting temperature and pressure. The more pressure a substance is under, the higher its melting point becomes. Both the liquid outer core and the solid inner core are made of an iron alloy, which means that chemically their melting points are the same. However, the outer core is under less pressure simply because it is under less material. The outer core supports the weight of the crust and mantle, while the inner core must also bear the weight of the outer core. The additional mass of the outer core creates enough pressure on the inner core to raise the melting temperature of the iron alloy above the temperature at the center of the earth, causing it to solidify. So in short, the inner core is solid because it is under more pressure than the outer core. Hope this helps
What three layers does the moon have?
1.CORE The very heart of the moon. 2.LOWER MANTLE The asthenosphere, from where the majority of moonquakes emanate. 3. UPPER MANTLE The lithosphere which is the most rigid part of the mantle. 4.CRUST The anorthosite crust is the external envelope of the moon. 5.BASALTS OF THE MARIA Local covering of the moon. The three layers of the Moon: Crust, Mantle, and the Core.
Scientist know that the moon does not have a magnetic fieldthis probably means that the moon does not have?
a liquid outer core like Earth, which generates its magnetic field through a process called the geodynamo. Without a magnetic field, the moon lacks protection from solar wind and cosmic rays, which may explain its lack of atmosphere and surface water.
Is their lava on the moon?
No, The moon does not have a liquid core like Earth
Does the moon have a large molten core?
The moon's core is thought to be partially liquid, but not necessarily "large" compared to the moon's overall size. The liquid outer core is believed to be small relative to the size of the moon as a whole.
What is missing on the Moon from lack of liquid core?
The magnetic field.
Does the moon Ganymede have water at its center?
Ganymede has a iron rich liquid core.
How does the Moon's iron-rich core compare to that of the Earths?
The Moon's iron core is smaller and less dense than Earth's, making up about 2-4% of its total mass compared to Earth's core which makes up about 30% of its mass. The Moon's core is also believed to be solid, while Earth's core is primarily liquid.
Which is closest to the surface--the liquid core or solid core?
liquid core
Is the outer core a solid or a liquid?
it is a liquid that is what it is
Is the outer core solid or liquid?
the outer core is liquid

What is the atmosphere on europa?
Europa doesn't have an atmosphere, the vacuum of space meets the ice covering the liquid water and rocky core of the moon.
What is the liquid layer of earth-core called?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
What is the liquid layer of the earths core called?
The liquid layer of the Earth's core is called the outer core.
