2939202 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s%20inner%20core | Earth's inner core | Size and shape
On the basis of the seismic data, the inner core is estimated to be about 1221 km in radius (2442 km in diameter), which is about 19% of the radius of the Earth and 70% of the radius of the Moon.
Its volume is about 7.6 billion cubic km (), which is about (0.69%) of the volume of the whole Earth.

2939202 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s%20inner%20core | Earth's inner core | Temperature
The temperature of the inner core can be estimated from the melting temperature of impure iron at the pressure which iron is under at the boundary of the inner core (about 330 GPa). From these considerations, in 2002, D. Alfè and others estimated its temperature as between and . However, in 2013, S. Anzel... | 2.765625 | 0 |

Because the inner core is not rigidly connected to the Earth's solid mantle, the possibility that it rotates slightly more quickly or slowly than the rest of Earth has long been entertained.
