Best Answer

It is believed that core formation occurred when the Solar System was very young - less than 30 million years old. The Earth formed from a cloud of dust and gas, and material began to come together to form kilometre-sized planets known as "planetisimals". These planetisimals rapidly joined together to form larger planets, thousands of kilometres in diameter. Researchers think that the Earth had already formed a core at this early stage.
