Best Answer

No. Liquid metallic hydrogen only forms when hydrogen is subjected to extreme pressure. Hydrogen is present in trace amounts in Earth's atmosphere in gas form, under low pressure. The core is composed primarily of iron. Liquid metallic hydrogen likely exists in the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.
