How deep in the earth is the outer core?
The outer core lies approximately 2,890 to 5,150 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. It is composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel, which produce the Earth's magnetic field through convective movements.
What planet has a core of a nickel and iron and crust 600 km thick?
The planet with a core of nickel and iron and a crust 600 km thick is Mercury. Mercury's core makes up about 85% of its radius and is composed mainly of iron with some nickel. Its crust is thin compared to its core and mantle.
Is the sun's core bigger than earth?
No, not the total core (outer and inner cores combined), anyway. The Earth's outer core roughly starts at a depth of 2890 km. So considering the Earth's 6371 km radius, the total core would be roughly 6962 km in diameter. Mars is 6792 km in diameter. So Mars is around the same size as the Earth's total core (just a bit smaller), but larger than the Earths inner core.
Layer of liquid iron and nickel that surrounds earths inner core?
The layer you are referring to is the outer core of the Earth. It is composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel due to intense heat and pressure. The movement of this liquid outer core is responsible for generating the Earth's magnetic field.
Does the moon have a liquid core?
No, the moon does not have a liquid core. It is composed of a solid iron-rich inner core surrounded by a partially molten outer core, but this is not considered liquid in the same way as Earth's outer core.
What is the outer core's thickness?
the outer core's thickness is 2300 km thick
What is the outer's core thickness?
the outer core's thickness is 2300 km thick
How thick is the earths outer core in Km?

How much thicker is the outer core than the inner core?
The outer core is approximately four times thicker than the inner core. The outer core is about 2,300 kilometers thick, while the inner core is about 1,200 kilometers thick.
How thick are the earths layers in km?
crust: average of 32 km thick mantle: 2900 km thick outer core: 2200 km thick inner core 1250 km thick
How deep are the 4 layers of the Earth?
The four layers of the Earth are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thinnest layer, ranging from about 5-70 km thick, while the mantle is about 2,900 km thick. The outer core is approximately 2,200 km thick, and the inner core is roughly 1,200 km thick.
How long is the outer core of the earth?
It is 2,266 km thick :)
How thick is eather layer?
The thickness of Earth's layers varies: the crust is between 5-70 km thick, the mantle is about 2,900 km thick, the outer core is about 2,300 km thick, and the inner core is about 1,200 km thick.
How thick is the core?
The thickness of the inner core is 1,200 km. 1,200 km being the radius of the sphere known as the inner core.
Outer core thickness?
The outer core is a liquid layer of the Earth that extends from about 2,250 km to 3,400 km below the Earth's surface. Its thickness varies slightly around the globe due to variations in temperature and composition. On average, the outer core is about 2,200 km thick.
