Whilst I understand most of the heat on earth comes from the sun, how much 
comes from the hot centre of the earth ? Assuming the heat from the sun 
remains the same, would we get any colder when the centre of the earth finally 
cools down ? (I discussed this with my dad & he reckons it wouldn't make much 
difference, but I'm not so sure).
