No. The Earth is a rocky planet, divided into physical and chemical layers, which have evolved from a molten blob of material that accreted from sun orbiting debris nearly 4.6 billion years ago. Although pockets of molten (liquid) rock exist in the mantle and crust, these two layers are essentially composed of solid metamorphic, igneous and to a small extent, sedimentary rock. The outer core is the only liquid layer, composed of liquid iron and nickel. The inner core is a solid metal alloy composed mainly of iron and nickel.

No. The Earth has a measurable gravitational effect on objects and celestial bodies which surround it from which its density is calculated. Seismic wave speed and reaction also provides clues to the density and state of the interior makeup of the Earth, and reveal that the various layers increase in density with depth.

no, it has a molten (melted rock) core covered by a thin layer of tectonic plates - the crust. Which we live on.

The inner core is solid nickel iron alloy, the outer core is liquid nickel iron alloy.
