its just lava when it reaches earth's serface, its magma when its still inside

Molten rock on the surface is called lava. It is cooler than magma, and quickly becomes solid. This is because it is much cooler on the earths surface than inside the earth. As magma rises it starts to cool, as you go up the volcano it gets cooler by 15 degrees every 1 km. so when the magma gets to the top of the volcano it is cooled down quite a bit and turns into lava
