How many Degrees is the Earths Core?

The earth's core can reach up to roughly about 2000 or 5000 degrees Celsius.


How long is the core?

From the Wikipedia: "The outer core of the Earth is a fluid layer about 2,300 km ... thick" - With current technology, it isn't possible to go that deep AT ALL.If you just want a calculation based on a hypothetical machine, assume some speed, and then divide the distance by the speed.


What two elements make up earths core?

The core of the earth contains many elements, not just two.However the two most abundant elements in the earth's core are nickle and iron (the final two elements that a star can make by fusion before it dies).But there are many other elements in the core, especially ones with atomic masses greater than that of nickel and iron. Many of these heavy elements are radioactive (e.g. radium, thorium, uranium) and it is the heat generated by the decay of these heavy radioactive elements that keeps the core hot and the outer core liquid.


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.


How many kilometers thick is the suns core?

The core of the sun is about 200,000 kilometers thick. It is the most dense and hottest part of the sun, where nuclear fusion reactions occur, producing energy through the conversion of hydrogen into helium.

How many elements make up earths crust?

How many elements make up the earths crust? The earths crust is made of many layers..You can find clay and very good soil. But that is if you dig a little way down. the earth has a center which is called the core of the earth. Inside this core is lava and is incredibly hot. Like the sun but not as hot..


WHY IS THAT THE EARTHS INTERIOR IS BELIEVED TO HAVE HIGH TEMPERATURES?

The interior core contains many nuclear properties which gives of huge amounts of heat which then heats the core.

What is the Basic structure of earths inner core?

The Earth's inner core is a solid ball of iron and nickel with a radius of about 1,220 kilometers. It is extremely hot, with temperatures reaching up to 5,700 degrees Celsius. The inner core is surrounded by the outer core, which is liquid.


What is inner made up of?

if you are talking about the earth here is the answer. The earth is made up of many parts. The outside is called the crust the crust is the thinest part of the earth. The crust is made up of the continental crust and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust is 3.0 grams/cm squared dense. The continental crust is 2.7 grams/cm squared dense. Other parts of the earths interior are the asthensophere "plastic mantle", stiffer mantle, outer core, and the inner core. We know that the outer core is liquid because a waves do not travel through it, and a waves only don't travel through liquid. These are the components that make up the earths interior.
