The center is the Moon's dense, metallic core. The core is largely composed of iron and some nickel. The inner core is a solid mass about 480 km in diameter. Surrounding the solid inner core is a fluid outer core that brings the total diameter of the core to about 660 km. Thanks to our leaky atmosphere; Earth loses several hundred tons of mass to space every day, significantly more than what we're gaining from dust. So, overall, Earth is getting smaller.
