Earth's innermost layer is called the core. The outside of Earth's core is made from molten nickel and iron that can reach temperatures of 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,000 degrees Celsius).

Researchers are still discovering more about the Earth's center.A team at Australian National University (ANU) has found evidence of a new layer to the planet sitting within the inner core. This ...

Back in my day, there were only four layers of Earth: the crust, mantle, liquid outer core and solid inner core. Now, scientists have revealed a new, distinct layer within our planet’s inner ...

Scientists created a simulation showing that early Earth still retained chemical traces of its igneous youth, 4.5 billion years ago.

We know the Earth is made up of at least four layers: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The theory that the Earth's inner core is made up of more than one part was first ...

The inner core is slowly growing in size at the expense of the outer core by solidifying molten materials as Earth gradually cools - as it has done since its birth about 4.5 billion years ago.
