¿Qué temperatura tiene el núcleo de la Tierra?

The video explains the structure and significance of Earth's core, composed of iron and nickel, and its role in generating the planet's electromagnetic field. It describes a laboratory method to simulate core conditions using a hydrogen gas cannon to recreate high pressure and temperature. The experiment measures the temperature at which iron melts during a high-speed collision, providing insights into the core's conditions. The findings suggest that the core is a significant heat source, hotter than the surface of the Sun.
