The inner core of the Earth is composed of solid metal (almost a pure alloy of iron and nickel) and extends from the center of the Earth to a radius of about 1220 kilometers (about 758 miles).
The outer core is a 2260 km-thick (~1404 mile) shell of molten iron-nickel that surrounds the solid inner core.
For comparison, the Earth's average radius (it's not a perfect sphere) is 6371 km, so the inner core extends 1220/6371*100 = ~19% of the whole radius of the Earth.
