Why doesn’t Earth core melt the planet❓

The core is located at the center of the Earth, and it is surrounded by layers of rock and metal. These layers act as insulation and prevent the heat from the core from reaching the surface of the planet.Secondly, the Earth’s mantle, which is the layer of rock between the core and the crust, is a poor conductor of heat. This means that it does not transfer heat very efficiently, which further helps to prevent the Earth’s surface from melting

📍Additionally, the Earth’s crust is constantly in motion, with tectonic plates shifting and colliding which helps to dissipate heat and prevent the planet from overheating Overall, while the Earth core is certainly a powerful source of heat it is not enough to melt the planet entirely.
