Scientists have not yet come to a definitive conclusion about Saturn's core. It is believed that the core is either rocky or icy.

How hot is Jupiters surface?

Jupiter does not have a solid surface, so it does not have a specific temperature at its surface. However, the upper atmosphere of Jupiter can reach temperatures of around 1,340 degrees Celsius (2,444 degrees Fahrenheit).


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


How hot is Jupiters core?

Jupiter's core temperature is estimated to be around 20,000°C (36,000°F). This extreme heat is generated by the planet's gravitational compression and the residual heat left over from its formation.


Is the moon solid all the way through?

No, the Moon has a solid iron-rich inner core with a radius of 240 kilometers and a fluid outer core primarily made of liquid iron with a radius of roughly 300 kilometers. Around the core is a partially molten boundary layer with a radius of about 500 kilometers.


Does the moon have a liquid core?

No, the moon does not have a liquid core. It is composed of a solid iron-rich inner core surrounded by a partially molten outer core, but this is not considered liquid in the same way as Earth's outer core.

Inner core state of matter?

The inner core of Earth is believed to be in a solid state, primarily composed of iron and nickel. This solid inner core is surrounded by a liquid outer core, which is responsible for generating the planet's magnetic field through convection currents and the movement of molten metal. The extreme pressure at the center of the Earth keeps the inner core solid despite the high temperatures.
