What is it called when the earth is in the center of the solar system?
The name of our planet is the Earth. The name of our moon is the Moon. The name of our solar system is the Solar System. I capitalize them, because when used as names, they are proper nouns. This also helps us distinguish between the planet Earth and earth (meaning soil), between the Earth's Moon and moon (meaning the natural satellite of a planet), and between our Solar System and any other solar systems (since any system containing a star and a planet or a planet-forming disk can be called a solar system.) The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System.

No, our Solar System is not the galaxy. Our Solar System is the Sun, and the planets around it (plus a few other objects, such as asteroids and comets). Our Sun (the center of our Solar System) is a star; in the galaxy there are several hundred billion stars, each of which might be called a solar system. At least if it is confirmed that it has planets - but it has already been confirmed that many stars in our neighborhood have planets.

Why is liquid so rare in your solar system?
Well, in my solar system liquid isn't really that rare. The second planet in my solar system has an almost entirely liquid crust, and a liquid mantle. The third planet orbiting the star in my solar system has a surface over 75% covered in liquid, and has a liquid mantle. The sixth and seventh planets in my solar system both have large hydrogen oceans. Several of the moons orbiting the sixth and seventh planets in my solar system also have liquids. I don't see why liquid could be called rare in my solar system. What about yours?
