Something’s cooking down inside Earth. At the center of our planet, temperatures reach approximately 5,200°C (9,392°F), almost as hot as the surface of the Sun. Driving this hellish heat is a ...

The team had to drill some 2 miles deep to get enough ice to study a 50,000 year time span. After conducting an extensive ...

Right now, the temperature of the Earth is pretty much perfect for humans, at around 13.9 degrees Celsius, or 57 degrees Fahrenheit.Yes, that is much lower than "room temperature," which is around ...

The images reveal how trains move and how wildfires spread. The first images from a new Earth-observing satellite reveal in unprecedented detail how temperatures change on the planet's surface ...

A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. ... They're extremely hot, with temperatures ranging from 7,200–9,000 degrees F.

Ancient helium that became trapped in Earth’s core when our planet formed billions of years ago may be leaking from lava flows, according to researchers.

The diamond anvil crushed iron and helium together under conditions mimicking those inside the Earth, to create a new compound. These compounds remained stable when pressures were reduced. Further ...

Scientists have found that there is an extra innermost core at the center of the Earth made entirely of iron, measuring 400 miles in diameter.

Earth's core has baffled researchers for decades, and it still contains many secrets. Recent studies show this hot furnace buried deep under our feet is weirder than we think.

A thin, yet dense, sunken ocean floor could be deep between the Earth’s core and mantle. The findings of a new study published April 5 in the journal Science Advances used global-scale seismic ...

The temperature of the core is believed to be 9,800 degrees Fahrenheit. We know a little more about the Earth’s mantle. It makes up 84% of the Earth’s volume.
