The inner core is the innermost part of Earth's structure. Composed mainly of nickel iron and heavy metals, it has a temperature of about 5700 deg C, (the same as the surface of the Sun) and is solid because of the pressure. It is heated mainly by radioactive decay, but a small contribution by gravitation pressure is also present.
