If you could drill down into the very center of the moon, what would you find? | Not cheese, unfortunately, but instead something far more stable and far less tasty. It turns out that the moon has a core not unlike Earth's. The Earth has an inner core that is mostly made of solid iron and a liquid outer core made of iron and nickel, according to National Geographic. The moon's core similarly has a solid inner center and a liquid outer, per NASA. This core is also comprised mostly of iron with a little nickel. ● However, there are some key differences between the moon's core and Earth's. One is, obviously, size, both actual and relative. The Earth's core has a diameter of around 4,330 miles, according to National Geographic. Meanwhile, the moon's inner and outer cores combined have a diameter of around 410 miles, with the inner core alone measuring nearly 300 miles across, per NASA. The moon's core also only takes up about 20 percent of its total diameter, while the Earth's core takes up around half. The moon's core also has an added part: a boundary layer that is only half liquid.
