  • Earth's Layers: Crust to Core Distance & Composition
    The distance from the Earth's crust to its core is approximately 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles).

    Here's a breakdown of the Earth's layers and their approximate thicknesses:

    * Crust: 5 to 70 kilometers (3 to 43 miles) thick

    * Mantle: 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) thick

    * Outer Core: 2,200 kilometers (1,400 miles) thick

    * Inner Core: 1,220 kilometers (760 miles) thick

    So, from the surface of the Earth (crust) to the very center (inner core) is about 6,371 kilometers (3,959 miles).
