The increasing frequency of global rocket launches could hinder the recovery of the critical ozone layer, warns ...

Earth’s innermost layer is a hot, solid ball of metal surrounded by a liquid metal outer core. For decades, planetary scientists suspected that the solid inner core deformed over time as it spun.

A surge in global rocket launches could potentially hinder the recovery of the ozone layer, according to recent scientific research.

Earth’s core has two layers. A hot, solid metal sphere of iron and nickel is roughly 70% the size of the moon, with a radius of about 759 miles (1,221 kilometers).
