The cranium is not solid in a sense that the bones are fusing together. There are eight crainal bones that surround and protect the brain. The bones fuse together at joints known as sutures. When the sutures are completely fused together the skull is solid

How do the relative proportions of the cranium and face compare with those of the adult skull?

In infants, the cranium is proportionally larger relative to the face compared to the adult skull. At birth, the cranium makes up about 50% of the total skull length, while the facial structure is much smaller. As individuals mature, the face grows more rapidly, leading to a more balanced proportion, with the cranium accounting for about proportion of the adult skull.
