The liver is actually larger than a single kidney. Perhaps because there are two kidneys and only one liver, the liver may seem to be more compact. Personally I see very little difference in the degree of compactness.

The right kidney sits under the liver, the largest internal organ. So it's lower down (2-8cm lower) than the left kidney which is under the spleen, a much smaller organ.
