Even though the Earth's inner core is hotter than the liquid outer core it is still solid because -?
The Earth's inner core is solid despite its higher temperature than the liquid outer core due to the immense pressure at that depth. The pressure increases significantly as you move toward the center of the Earth, which raises the melting point of iron and nickel, causing them to remain solid despite the high temperatures. This combination of extreme pressure and temperature prevents the inner core from becoming liquid.

Is tomato sauce a gas liquid or solid?
Liquid. There may be solids in chunkier tomato sauce though.
What planet has no ocean and is very hot?
Venus and Mercury, Venus is hotter though
Why is Venus hotter than Mercury even though its closer to the sun?
Venus is hotter because it has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. This causes Venus to have a much higher surface temperature than Mercury, despite being farther from the Sun.
Why does it appear unlikely that Venus is capable of supporting life as you know it?
Venus appears to be incapable of supporting life as we know it because of the fact that even though Venus is the second planet away from the sun, it is still hotter than the first planet, Mercury, because its atmosphere acts like a green house and traps for heat in :making it much hotter than what humans can sustain.
Does water get hotter after boiling?
No! Technically, it can turn to steam, but the water itself can not become hotter than its boiling point. The above is true. But ... Remember that the boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the saturated vapour pressure is equal to the applied pressure. Increase the pressure and the boiling point will rise. If the questioner meant the boiling point at normal atomospheric presure then you could make it boil at a higher temperature by heating it in a pressure vessel with a release valve, such as in an old-fashioned presure cooker.
Why is earths inner core solid even though its temperature is hotter than that which would melt iron?
it is like 62,000,00 degrees down there
Is Venus's hotter than Mercury?
Even though Mercury is closer to the sun than Venus, Venus is hotter because it has a dense atmosphere that traps the suns heat while Mercury does not.

What is hotter than a lightning bolt?
The sun is hotter than a lighting bolt :)Most lightening bolts are as hot as the surface of the sun. the inner part of the sun is hotter than a bolt though.
Does green tea evaporate?
Yes, because if it is a liquid it will evaporate. Not as fast as water though but eventually it will evaporate.
Why outer core is liquid?
It is because the outer core is not under enough pressure to be solid, so it is liquid even though it has a composition similar to that of the inner core.
What planet has no ocean and is very hot?
Venus and Mercury, Venus is hotter though
Why does Rigel shine as bright as Betelgeuse even though Rigel is much smaller than Betelgeuse?
Rigel appears as bright as Betelgeuse because it is hotter and more luminous, even though it is smaller. The luminosity of a star depends on both its temperature and size, so a hotter, more luminous star can shine as brightly as a larger, cooler star.
Does Pluto have any life on it?
It is currently unknown because we can hardly tell what its surface looks like. Without any liquid water, though, it's highly unlikely because, as far as we know, life needs liquid water.
Is the canaries hotter than Greece?
Even though the canaries are closer to Africa, it seems as if Greece is hotter. My reason is that the proximity of the canaries to the Mediterranean helps to ameliorate its high temperature.
