Earth’s Core Is As Hot As The Surface Of The Sun
MessageToEagle.com – Earth is divided into three layers – the crust, mantle and the core. Scientists have measured the temperature of Earth’s core and it turns out it’s a hellish 6,000 degrees Celsius (10,832 F), a solid 1,000 C (1,832 F) hotter than previously believed. In fact, it is as hot as the surface of the Sun!
Eаrth’ѕ innеr core iѕ a ball of mоѕtlу irоn alloy 1,207 kilоmеtеrѕ (750 mi) thick. Thiѕ mеtаl orb рrоvidеѕ our planet with a protective mаgnеtiс fiеld.
The extremely high temperature offers a better explanation for how the planet generates a magnetic field.

The difference in temperature matters, because this explains how the Earth generates its magnetic field. The Earth has a solid inner core surrounded by a liquid outer core, which, in turn, has the solid, but flowing, mantle above it. There needs to be a 2,700-degree F (1,500 C) difference between the inner core and the mantle to spur “thermal movements” that — along with Earth’s spin — create the magnetic field.
