what is the temp?

Question

what is the temp of the core of the earth?

Answer 1

The temperature of the inner core can be estimated using experimental and theoretical constraints on the melting temperature of impure iron at the pressure (about 330 GPa) of the inner core boundary, yielding estimates from 5,000 to 6,000 °C (>9,000 °F).[8] The range of pressure in Earth's inner core is about 330 to 360 GPa (over 3,000,000 atm),[9] and iron can only be solid at such high pressures because its melting temperature increases dramatically at these large pressures.[1

Answer 2

Hey Prashanth,

There is no way to measure the temperature at the Earth's core directly. We know from mines and drill holes that, near
the surface of the Earth, the temperature increases by about
1 degree Fahrenheit for every 60 feet in depth. If this
temperature increase continued to the center of the Earth, the
Earth's core would be 100,000 degrees Celsius!

But nobody believes the Earth is that hot; the temperature increase must slow down with depth and the core is probably about 3000 to 5000 degrees Celsius.

This estimate of the temperature is derived from theoretical modeling and laboratory experiments. This work is very difficult (and speculative) since nobody can reproduce
in a laboratory the high temperatures and pressures that
exist in the core. Also it is not known exactly what the core is made of.

Answer 3

No one can really explore the earths interior. Scientist obtain information about the characteristics of the earth's interior by studying earthquake records.
The outer core has a very high temperature and ranges from about 4,400 degrees Celsius to about 6,100 degrees Celsius.The inner core is about 6,400 kilometers below the earths surface. the temperature at the inner core of the earth is at the high is about 7,000 degrees Celsius.
But compared with the sun the earth's temperature at the center of the earth is only about the outer reign of the sun.

Answer 4

i've found heaps of different answers on the web to this.

on one website it said the inner core was 7000 degrees celsius and on another it said 3000 to 5000 degrees celsius.

Answer 5

think so 1500 C 0r 3000 C
