The earth's core contains radioactive elements and as these decay they release heat. This heat keeps the earth's core hot.

What will happen to people and animals if their is no sunlight?

If there is no Sun Light the Core of the earth would cool, all living organisms would be killed and when the sore of the earth cooled the earth would implode due to a sub-normal reaction between heat and gravity, the gravity would win and implode the earths crust. This would cause a huge super-nova in our galaxy and send earth particles flying through the universe.


What would happen if the Earth's core cooled?

If the Earth's core cooled, it would lead to a decrease in the planet's magnetic field, which protects us from harmful solar radiation. This could result in more exposure to radiation, affecting our atmosphere and potentially causing disruptions to technology and communication systems.


Where is the earth center of gravity?

The center of gravity of Earth is at its core, which is near its geometric center. It is the point where the gravitational pull on an object can be considered to act.


Does the earth get its gravity from the inner core?

Partially. Every bit of mass on and within Earth contributes to its gravity.


What lies at the centre of gravity and earth?

The Earth's Core lies at the centre.


Is there gravity at the center of the Earth?

Yes, there is gravity at the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is present throughout the entire planet, including at its core.


Where is the force of gravity located on the Earth?

it is found in the core.


Can you dig through the Earth's core and escape the central gravity there if you found a way to withstand the heat?

No, it is not possible to dig through the Earth's core as it is made up of extremely hot and molten materials that would make any attempt to withstand its heat impossible. Additionally, the gravity at the Earth's core is likely to be much stronger and escaping it would not be feasible.


Does gravity push us toward the earth?

gravity pulls us towards the centre (core) of the earth. because bears.


Is Earth permanent magnetic?

No.-----The earth has an important magnetic field.No, Earth would lose its magnetic field if its molten iron core were not moving. Scientists speculate that Mars had a magnetic field a long time ago but lost it when the planet cooled to the point that its core solidified.


How does gravity work on a pencil on earth?

The magnetic core of the earth pulls on the mass of the pencil.


Why do you feel the affects of gravity more when you are here on Earth than you would out in space?

Because gravity is stronger with a bigger object. The greatest effect on the gravity you undergo has to do with the immense electromagnetivity from the Earth's core. There are none of those physical factors in space.
