Is the statement that it is a semi-liquid more or less confirmed? That is what I’m saying.
Is the moon’s diameter and composition enough to create a semi-molten rock? Or could this phenomenon be better explained by a loose set of rocks, which also displays characteristics of a liquid when in movement.
A loose set of rocks could be described as a fluid, but not a liquid. But a cold cluster of rocks would not have fluid motion.
Regardless, the moon’s core temperature is estimated around 1400°C. This means liquid iron or solid or semisolid austenite depending on the presence of other elements, primarily carbon.
