@SonicBlue03 The podcast is basically a thought exercise on discussing the make up of planets and how they vary. Of course, the hot molten metal in Earth was brought up in the first 30 seconds. They then go on discuss small rocky, gas giants, and etc. It was an interesting way to look at planetary science.

I skimmed the post and commented. Sorry about that. We don't often think about the inside of Earth. It's as fascinating as the rest.

True. We constantly look to the starts, but really do not even know what is beneath our feet.
