How many layers of Earth are there?
user
Earth has four layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. 

* Crust: The crust (also called the lithosphere) is the outside layer that people see and touch. The continental crust is on land and can be 70km thick, and the crust is about 5km thick on the ocean floor. This layer consists of rocks called sial that are primarily silica and alumina.
* Mantle: The mantle is thicker than the crust and almost 3000km deep. It's made up of silicate rocks with magnesium and iron. 
* Outer core: The Earth's outer core is 4400-5000+ degrees Celsius, so its iron and nickel components are liquid. This layer creates a magnetic field that forms a protective barrier in space, shielding Earth from the sun's damaging solar wind.
* Inner core: The inner core is over 5000 degrees C, meaning it's around as hot as the sun's surface. However, this layer's iron and nickel are solid due to immense pressure because it is so deep within Earth.
