As you can see by this diagram the distance between each layer differs.
The temperatures of each layer also differs.
The Earth’s crust is the outermost layer of the Earth’s structure. In fact, the
crust is what you’re standing on. But geologists have learned that if you dig
down into the Earth, even just a few hundred meters, and things start to heat
up!
The mantle is the second layer of the earth. It is split up into two different
parts, the lithosphere (the top part) and the asthenosphere (the bottom part).
The lithosphere is a dense rock made out of iron and nickel,
the asthenosphere is a plastic like fluid. The temperature of the lithosphere is
around 300 to 500 degrees celsius, and the asthenosphere is around 4500 degrees
celsius.
The mantle has the biggest volume of all the layers, the volume of it
is 84% of the earth. It is 2,900 kilometers deep.
The temperature of the outer core is around 4400 degrees celsius. The depth of
the outer core is 2, 890 kilometres.
The Inner crust is the second thinnest layer. The inner core is hotter
than the surface of the sun. The inner core is made out of iron and nickel. It
is 5159 to 6378 km thick. The inner core is extremely hot and is the last layer.
The inner core is 5505 degrees celsius.
