The heat comes in the part were the core was and it melts
The Earth's inner core and outer core interact through the process of convection. Heat from the inner core causes the outer core to heat up and become less dense, leading to the movement of molten iron and nickel in a circular pattern. This convection motion generates the Earth's magnetic field.
Heat rising from within the Earth causes the tectonic plates to move. This movement can result in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains.
As you move closer to the Earth's inner core, the temperature increases. This is because the inner core is surrounded by layers of molten metal and rock, which generate heat through radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation. The temperature at the Earth's inner core can reach up to around 5700°C (10,300°F).

it shines light to earth and earth is in the inner solar system.
The main source of heat energy in the Earth's inner core is residual heat left over from the planet's formation, along with radioactive decay of elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium. This heat causes the inner core to remain in a solid state despite the extremely high temperatures.

The thermal energy to melt Earth's inner rock primarily comes from the decay of radioactive isotopes present in the Earth's core and mantle, as well as residual heat from the planet's formation. This heat causes the rocks to melt and form magma beneath the Earth's surface.
