The surface is mostly covered in water, but compared the total volume of spherical earth, there's fuck all water.

There's a difference between water and liquid.

Not sure if the solid core has more mass than the mantle.
In any case, I'd say it's like a balloon with something solid floating in the middle.

Was referring to the stuff under the crust as the liquid not the water on top

But how liquid is the molten core? (I assume that's where this poster was going)
