How Deep You Could Dig on Different Planets!!

Scientists have figured out what's happening beneath the surface of planets that are millions or even billions of miles away from us—without ever having to visit or drill into them! They use data on a planet's density, magnetic field, mountain ranges, heat, and seismic activity to make educated guesses. For instance, Earth's magnetic field protects us and our atmosphere from solar flares and winds, and scientists think this field exists because of a hot iron core inside the planet.

When numerous earthquakes occur on a planet, it indicates significant activity beneath its surface. On Earth, this is due to the movement of tectonic plates, with most earthquakes occurring along their boundaries. But what about other planets? Let’s explore! Today, you'll discover what lies beneath the surface of each planet in the solar system. So, imagine boarding your spaceship, equipped with the largest drill possible—and let's begin our journey!
