The mantle is the thickest layer on the interior of the earth, measuring about 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) thick. The other layers are much thinner in comparison: the crust is about 35 kilometers (22 miles) thick, the outer core is about 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles) thick, and the inner core is about 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) thick. The lithosphere is a thinner layer that includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle, while the inner core is solid and the outer core is liquid.
