If iron melts at 1538 degrees and the earths core is at 5500 degrees why is it still a solid?
the 2 main variables which decide whether an element or compound is a solid, liquid, or gas, are temperature and pressure.Iron melts at 1538 degrees only when it is pure (which the core is not) and under atmospheric pressure. The iron in the earths inner core is under pressure equivalent to many thousands (if not millions) times that of atmospheric pressure, so it exists as a solid.
What is a sentence using inner core?
The inner core of the Earth is thought to be a solid sphere made primarily of iron and nickel, with temperatures reaching up to 5,700 degrees Celsius.
Which of the earths layer has temperatures reaching up to 11000 degrees f?
The inner core of the Earth is estimated to have temperatures reaching up to 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This intense heat is due to the immense pressure and radioactive decay happening in this solid iron-nickel core.
How many degrees is the outer core?
The temperature of the outer core is about 5500˚C
What is earths hottest layer?

How many degrees is it in earths mantle core?
120-300
Is the earths core 1375 degrees?
The earths inner core is thought to be approximately 5778 K (5505 °C)
What is the relative temperature for the earths core?
4000000000 degrees
Is the sun or the earths core hotter?
The sun's core is hotter, it is about 30 billion degrees Celsius.
How hot is earths iner core?
i think it is about 75000 degrees hot
Which is hotter the sun or the Earth's core?
The sun is millions of degrees hotter than the earths core! (:
How many sections does the earths core have?
2
Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?
Earth's core
What animal lives in the core of earth?
No animal living on earth can survive the temperatures in the earths core. The temperature is between 5000-9000 degrees.
How many degrees is earths axis tiilted?
23.45 degrees
How many degrees can the Earths core reach?
The Earth's core can reach temperatures of approximately 4,000 to 7,000 degrees Celsius (7,200 to 12,600 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme heat is primarily due to the decay of radioactive isotopes and the pressure from the overlying layers of the Earth. The outer core is liquid, while the inner core is solid, despite these high temperatures, due to the immense pressure that prevents it from melting.
How many earths can fit into Jupiters core?
approximately 1.3 can fit in Jupiters core
