someday it will cool off, but that is a very long way off. say many billion years from now.

The heat in the core comes from the extreme pressure of the core.
Yes someday it will cool off many many years from now.

Over my head. I actually watched a show about this a week or two, maybe less. I watch History and discovery as much as my kids will let me.
I believe it was Discovery channel. It showed how gasses swirled around and around picking up dust and dibria this traped the heat and eventually confined the cores heat and built it up.
Like I said I watch so much it all blends togather and I can't remember half of it BUT I believe we fall under a star just like all the other stars. Meaning we'll exsplode.. But dont take my word for it. Just thinking outloud

Easy question. The heat of the core is Hell which is described in the Holy Bible. You see, God threw the fallen angels into the core of the Earth and used special super petrol to light the fires. This has been proven in a newspaper article about scientists in Siberia hearing screams of tourture for a microphone dropped into the Earth.

Most of it comes from radioactive decay. It's estimated that it will take about 14 billion years to cool down.
