it would be hot thats a given. but would the pressure be able to overcome th eoutward pressure of the heat to form a liquid or solid.

ive gotten several different answers from people that have had a lot more science than me

And as you go significantly deeper into the earth, the strength of gravity will weaken as well. Salviati Oct 2023 #26

thats roughly the answer i calculated moonshinegnomie Oct 2023 #3

If you substitute air, with water, it becomes easier to imagine. The water pressure at the bottom Chainfire Oct 2023 #6

How about this? usonian Oct 2023 #7

A column of water, regardless of the cross-sectional area of the "channel" Chainfire Oct 2023 #8

if you dropped a ball thru the earth it would oscillate from one side to the other moonshinegnomie Oct 2023 #9

That is what I assumed as a 12 year old. That it would bounce back and forth until it slowed to a stop in Chainfire Oct 2023 #15

air is compressable moonshinegnomie Oct 2023 #10

Of course, but at the pressures that exist under the eggshell thin crust Warpy Oct 2023 #11

i dont know if it would be liquid or solid or gas moonshinegnomie Oct 2023 #12

Air, would certainly be a gas in a zero gravity system, unless it was super cold, I don't believe the proposition Chainfire Oct 2023 #14

PSI is a measure of weight. Chainfire Oct 2023 #13

no it isnt moonshinegnomie Oct 2023 #16

It certainly is. Pounds per square inch, as referring to a column of water, for instance Chainfire Oct 2023 #17

Yes, and weight is the relevant issue, I think William Seger Oct 2023 #18

No, it isn't. sl8 Oct 2023 #19

Yes, but in this case, the pressure is due to the weight William Seger Oct 2023 #20

This would be a nice homework problem for an upper-level college course caraher Oct 2023 #21

This is the best answer in the set. Some comments... NNadir Oct 2023 #24
