How many miles is it from the inner core to the outer core?

There is no distance between the two : the outer core is on top of the inner core of the Earth. The inner core is considered to be about 2440 km (1520 mi) in diameter, or the region up to about 1220 km from the center. The outer core extends about another 2266 km (1408 mi) outward, from around 1220 to 3486 km from the center. The outer core is therefore about 5150 km from the surface at sea level, this distance comprising the mantle (lower and upper) and the crust.
