How did scientists know that the outer core is liquid?
When there is an earthquake, seismic waves are created. Seismic waves are energy traveling through air, water, or rock. There are a few different types of seismic waves but the one in question here are called body seismic waves. These body waves can only travel through solids or rock. So we can measure a body wave created from an earthquake or atomic bomb on one part of the planet and measure it on a different part of the planet. So if Earth is solid to the core we should be able to measure the same seismic body wave on opposite sides of the planet, but we can't, the wave generated on one side of the planet isn't transmitted to the exact opposite side. This is because of the liquid layer of the earth. Once the body wave hits the liquid layer it is quickly dissipated.
If the earth didn't spin what would the air patterns be like?
The side of the planet facing the sun would have air rushing from it to the other side of the planet with the force of a hurricane. The side facing the sun would be a very hot low pressure area, and the other side would be a cold high pressure area. Buildings would be ripped apart by the force of the winds. One word sums it up. Carnage.

Which planet is closer to Earth?
The planet that is closest to Earth depends on where the other planets are in relation to Earth. Venus can come the closest when it is on the same side of the Sun as the Earth, but Mars can be closest when Venus is on the far side of the Sun and Mars is on the same side of the sun as Earth.
