Didn’t Nobel Prize winner Al Gore tell us that the temperature of the earth’s core was millions of degrees?

Fun fact: Water freezes at 32 degrees, and coincidentally, that is Al Gore’s IQ.

Global warming from the inside out! It is likely that the Earth is underway on nuclear power. ;-)

So what is the stuff at the core that remains solid while surrounded by 10,800degF+ degree stuff?
At these temperatures and pressures, known materials behave as fluids, right?

If you can follow it, Margarita Marinova (before her PhD) did a presentation on the Martian Dichotomy. It adds a lot of information to what you are talking about.
You can find that talk by mashing: here.

The pressure of the inner core keeps it solid despite the temperature.

31+ here today.
It is finally starting to warm up.
But, we got snow again yesterday.

Define solid and liquid. It's not that clear cut. Glass is a liquid. A seemingly solid ball of pitch is a liquid.
Oobleck seems like a liquid, but breaks like a rock when you hit it with a hammer.
Cooks study this stuff.

Define liquid and solid and then let's discuss which glass is.
