The Earth's crust is actually a relatively thin layer of lighter weight rock floating on denser molten core, so the core is bigger.
With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
Other orbiting bodies contain more iron then earths crust does
Lithosphere is the layer clostest to the earths crust. It is the layer that contains the sial and sima. Asthenosphere is the next layer clostest to the earths crust. Mesosphere is the inner most layer of the mantle than it goes to the core... Outer core, and inner core
Earth's crust is part of the Earth's outermost layer, along with the mantle and core. It is composed mainly of solid rock and is where most geological processes, like plate tectonics and volcanic activity, occur. The crust is thinner beneath the ocean than on land and is divided into several large tectonic plates that continuously move and interact with each other.
The density of Earth's mantle is lower than the density of Earth's core. The mantle is composed of solid rock while the core is made of mostly iron and nickel, which are denser materials. This difference in density contributes to the layering of the Earth's structure.
No, the core is hotter.
Yes it is
The earths crust is moved rather than pulled by things called convection currents. This is when heated rock from the earths core rises up and reaches the crust where it cools. It then sinks down again and carries on in a circle which moves the crust

No. The core is much denser than the crust.
The Earth can be divided into four main layers: the solid crust on the outside, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. Out of them, the crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth, amounting for less than 1% of our planet's volume .

The sun is much hotter than the Earth's crust. The temperature at the Earth's core is estimated to be around 5700 degrees Celsius, whereas the temperature at the surface of the sun is about 5500 degrees Celsius.
The mantle is hotter than the crust.
The Earth's layers, from thickest to thinnest, are the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core is solid and primarily composed of iron and nickel, while the outer core is liquid. The mantle is much thicker than the crust and is made of semi-solid rock, and the crust is the thinnest layer, composed of solid rock and minerals.
There is no "purpose"; the density of the materials in the outer core are less pressured and spin slower than the inner core. NOTE: the inner core spins faster than the outer, creating Earth's magnetic field.
