Inner Core
The next layer after the Outer Core is the Inner Core, which is the innermost layer of the Earth. This stretches up to 1448 kms (900 miles) and is about 5100 (3169 miles) beneath the surface. It is mostly made of melted form of Iron and Nickel. Due to the very high pressure at the centre of the Earth, the inner core is solid with no movement as a liquid. The temperature in the inner core is hellish 5000 to 7000 degree Celsius, which is equivalent to the estimated surface temperature of the sun.
