Water is life. Water in and of itself is not that uncommon in the solar system or the universe. But liquid water on the surface of a planet is unusual and it is absolutely critical to our existence. Without water, the Earth would be a sterile ball of rock revolving endlessly around the Sun, and we would not even exist. What makes water so vital?

We don’t normally think about the relationship between the core of the Earth and the ability of the planet to support life. But it turns out that complex life on Earth would be impossible without a spinning iron-rich core producing the magnetosphere that shields us from the deadly solar wind. Let’s take a look upward and downward and examine the center of the Earth as well as its far-flung outer boundary.
