The mantle is between 500-4500K, meaning most of it is hot enough to glow at least a dull red.
You don’t say lava is black because once it cools down it turns black…
I often forget we’re basically living on a spherical hot pocket fresh out of the microwave.
Crispy Crunchy Tender Flaky Crust, Earth pocket!
Here I thought the joke was going to be “The Earth is actually a complete sphere without having any slices or cross-sections taken out of it like that.”
Related fun fact: The Earth’s crust is largely made of feldspars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldspar
