The most critical factor that allows liquid water to exist is the average temperature of the planet. This is primarily dependent on the temperature of the star it orbits, and its distance from the star. Other lesser but important factors include atmospheric composition and pressure, rate of rotation, and inclination to the orbital plane.
If our solar system is typical, there is a huge amount of water in space, but it is mostly frozen solid on far planets, asteroids, and comets (and in the rings of Saturn). The liquid phase requires a temperature that is warmer, but not too warm. Astronomers refer to the potentially human-habitable region around any given star as the "Goldilocks zone" or Liquid Water Belt.

How does a planet's distance from the sun affect other characteristics of the planet?
It affects the characteristics of the planets by the highs and lows of the temperature of the planet. It also would affect, if there was, the life on the outer planets. If there were life on the outer planets, they would freeze. [Jupiter mostly heats itself by it's core. Jupiter was going to be a star, but it didn't weigh enough or wasn't hot enough to become a star.]
How does distance from the sun affect a planet's climate?
The distance from the sun affects a planet's climate primarily by influencing the amount of solar energy received. Planets closer to the sun receive more energy, leading to higher temperatures, while planets farther away receive less energy, resulting in colder temperatures. This can affect factors such as the presence of liquid water and the overall habitability of a planet.
What planet is the appropriate distance from the Sun to have liquid water?
The planet Mars is believed to be in the appropriate distance from the Sun to have liquid water. It is located within the habitable zone of our solar system, where conditions could allow for water to exist in liquid form under the right circumstances.
What is the state of interparticle distance inside a solid liquid and gas?
The interparticle distance is greater in a gas than in a liquid, and greater in a liquid than in a solid.
Do all planets have a molten core that has liquid metal?
Only the Earth is known to have a core that includes liquid metal.However, Jupiter and Saturn do have regions composed of metallic liquid hydrogen. Also, there is some evidence that Mercury and Venus may have liquid metal in their cores. Mars may have some liquid metallic sulfide in its core.
How does the planets distance from the sun affect its conditions?
The farther away from the sun the planet is, the more space it has to cover. Therefore, the planets distance from the sun whereas, if i am half the distance from Earth/Sun, that planet will get more energy. But if I am twice the distance from Earth/Sun, I will receive less energy.

Why water remain liquid on earth compared to other planets?
The earth is in what astronomers call the 'Goldylocks Zone': Just the right distance from our sun that liquid water can exist.

Does Jovian planets have liquid mantles?
Yes it does
Which planets allow liquid water?
Earth is the only known planet with liquid water.
Why do Jovian planets have more volotile liquid and gaseous material then terrestial planets?

What are the giant planets composed of?
Gas and Liquid Gas.
What is the state of interparticle distance inside a solid liquid and gas?
The interparticle distance is greater in a gas than in a liquid, and greater in a liquid than in a solid.
Why does water remain liquid on earth compared to the other planets?
Because on most planets (mars being an exeption as there are places where water can stay liquid) temperature and/or atmospheric pressure is to high or low for water to stay liquid.
Does the amount of a specific liquid you have affect the density of the liquid?
no
