> how is core temperature sustainable?

it’s not, the vast majority is the heat in the core is from radioactive decay, and the rest is a combination of friction and the pressure caused b ythe pull of the sun and vice versa.

its gonna make several million years, but Earth’s core eventually will cooldown(honestly the Sun might die out 1st.)
