Answer:

With the heavy inner core, the earth's orbit and rotation will remain stable over the long term, giving us day and night and summer and winter. ... These swirling convection currents result in the earth's magnetic field which keeps us properly oriented for travel, and shields earth from deadly cosmic rays

Step-by-step explanation:

The inner core is the fourth layer inside the Earth. It is a solid metallic ball made mainly of iron. Here, temperatures reach extraordinary levels, estimated to be between 7,200–8,500ºF (4,000–4,700ºC). Although the inner core is very hot, it is not liquid like the outer core.
