For a long time, scientists thought the Earth's inner core was a solid ball of metal, sort of like a planet within a planet ...

New study reveals that Earth's inner core is undergoing unexpected structural changes, challenging long-held assumptions ...

There's a lot more to Earth than meets the eye. Far from being just a roundish rock barreling through space, our planet is composed of several layers held together by intense forces of gravity.

A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than ...

Earth’s innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun.

The temperature can change from very hot to very cold, depending on sunlight exposure. It can range from 1,700°C (3,092°F) in the sun to -270°C (-454°F) in the shade.

At the center of our planet is a very hot rotating ball of mostly iron and nickel (sorry Journey to the Center of the Earth fans). Scientists infer features of this innermost geographic layer—li ...

Non-mixing layers of water and hydrocarbons thousands of miles deep could explain the icy planets’ strange magnetic fields.
