The Earth's core is divided into two parts:
* Inner core: This is a solid sphere of mostly iron and nickel, with temperatures estimated to be between 5,200 and 7,000 degrees Celsius.
* Outer core: This is a liquid layer of iron and nickel, with temperatures reaching between 4,500 and 5,500 degrees Celsius.
While the inner core is incredibly hot, it remains solid due to the immense pressure from the overlying layers. It is the outer core where temperatures can reach 13,000 degrees Celsius (about 23,400 degrees Fahrenheit) and even higher in localized areas.
