The inner core - the centre of earth - is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F (7,200°C = 7,500 K), which is hotter than the surface of the Sun. The inner core (which has a radius of about 750 miles (1,228 km) is solid. The core is a dense ball of the elements iron and nickel.

What happens to S waves and P waves as they pass through the Earth's inner core?

As S waves encounter the Earth's inner core, they stop being transmitted because the inner core is solid and does not allow shear waves to pass through. P waves, on the other hand, experience a significant increase in velocity and refraction as they pass through the inner core.
