The Earth's core is composed of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core, both primarily made up of iron and nickel. The solid inner core is about 760 miles (1,220 kilometers) in diameter and is surrounded by the liquid outer core.
No, the Earth's core will not explode. The core is a solid iron ball surrounded by liquid metal, and any changes or reactions happening there would not result in an explosion.
The innermost layer of the Earth is the inner core, which is composed mostly of solid iron and nickel. The extreme pressure and temperature at this depth keep these metals in a solid state despite their high melting points.
A solid metal ball would sink into the very viscous liquid, a hollow metal ball would float. The speed of descent is dependent on the density of the liquid.

It doesn't react. it is so unreactive that all it will do is eventually melt if you heat it high enough.

No. It is a terrestrial planet like the other inner planets, meaning it is mostly rocky.
The layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the Earth's outermost layer, followed by the mantle which is a hot, solid layer beneath the crust. The outer core is a liquid layer composed of iron and nickel, and the inner core is a solid ball of iron and nickel at the center of the Earth.

The inner core is a solid, dense ball of iron and nickel at the center of the Earth. It is surrounded by the liquid outer core, which is also made of iron and nickel but in a molten state. The outer core is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.

The center of the Earth is a solid ball of iron-nickel alloy called the inner core.
