Weve managed to go hundreds of thousands of miles into space, but when it comes to the earth, weve barely scratched the surface. Our planets core is a magnificent mystery filled with secrets. Its time to figure them out.
The Earths inner core is an extra hot solid ball that has a radius just 30% smaller than the Moon. Scientists figured out that most of the Earths mass is located towards the center of our planet. The temperature of the inner core is about 9800F. While the melting point of pure iron is about 2, 800F, at the core, its melting point is around 11, 000 F Date: 2022-04-19
