Question

would a planets gravity be affected by the fact whether it's core is molten or cooled to a solid?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the core were to cool completely, the planet would grow cold and dead. ... Cooling also could cost us the magnetic shield around the planet created by heat from the core. This shield protects Earth from cosmic radiation. The shield is created by a convection process caused by constantly moving iron.

Hope this helps, have a wonderful day/night, and stay safe!
