The temperature can change from very hot to very cold, depending on sunlight exposure. It can range from 1,700°C (3,092°F) in the sun to -270°C (-454°F) in the shade.
Discover interesting facts about how big earthquakes can get, why earthquakes happen, and why they're so hard to predict.
Earth’s innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun.
Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.
