  • Earth's Layers: Density Comparison of Crust, Mantle, and Core
    The core has the highest density among the Earth's crust, mantle, and core.

    Here's a breakdown of their densities:

    * Crust: 2.7 - 3.0 g/cm³

    * Mantle: 3.3 - 5.7 g/cm³

    * Core: 9.9 - 13.0 g/cm³ (outer core) and 12.6 - 13.0 g/cm³ (inner core)

    The high density of the core is due to its composition of iron and nickel, which are very dense elements.
