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?
Liquid water is rare in the solar system because of the extreme temperatures and lack of atmospheric pressure on most planetary surfaces. Most planets are either too hot or too cold for liquid water to exist. Earth is exceptional due to its distance from the Sun and its protective atmosphere that maintains moderate temperatures suitable for liquid water.

Why isn't Jupiter its own solar system?
First of all, Jupiter is not a star. It would have to be if it and all its satellites were to be a solar system. Secondly, it itself orbits a star, our sun, so it is in a solar system.
What is only the planet earth found with?
The presence of liquid water on its surface. Earth is the only known planet in our solar system and, so far, in the universe where water exists in liquid form, a key ingredient for supporting life as we know it.
Which is the largest star in the solar system?
The Sun is the largest star in our solar system. It is a yellow dwarf star that comprises over 99% of the total mass of the solar system.
Why are total solar eclipse a rare phenomenon?
On average there are as many solar eclipses as there are lunar ones. But each lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, while a solar eclipse can only be seen from a relatively small strip of the Earth's surface. So in any one place it seems that solar eclipses are rare.
Explain that your sun is not the star in your solar system?
That would be difficult to explain. -- The Sun IS a star. -- It IS in my solar system. -- It's the ONLY star in my solar system. -- So the sun is THE star in my solar system.
How rare is Uranus?
Uranus is one of four gas giant planets in our solar system; many other stars also are orbited by gas giants, so they are not rare.
How the solar system got its name?
Solar means space and the Solar System is a system (with the moon, sun, planets, stars, etc.) so the Solar System is really a Space System.
Is a comet in the solar system or the galaxy?
A comet is in a solar system. A solar system is in a galaxy, so technically a comet is also in a galaxy.
What does evaporation do to solar energy?
Solar energy produces evaporation when it heats up a liquid so that the liquid starts evaporating from the surface. So it's really what solar energy does to evaporation and not the other way round.
Why did they call it the solar system?
It comes from the Latin "sol" for sun,so sun-system or Solar System.
Why are total solar eclipses so rare?
They're not all that rare; there's one about every year somewhere.
Is soil part of the solar system?
There is soil on Earth, and Earth is part of the solar system, so you could say that soil is part of the solar system.
Which is older the solar system or the earth?
The Earth is part of the Solar System, so they are of the same age.
Why are stars a part of your solar system?
There is only one star that is part of our solar system. That is the sun. The stars we see are outside our solar system. "Solar" refers to our star. It holds the solar system together as it is through its gravity that everything orbits it, creating the solar system. So it is the key part of our solar system. That is why it is part of it.
Is Capella a solar system?
Capella is a star, so it is not itself a solar system. Our sun is not a solar system, but it is part of the solar system along with the planets, moons, comets, asteroids and other objects. If Capella has any of those things, then it is part of a solar system.
Are galaxies included in the solar system?
A galaxy contains solar systems within itself so a solar system is included in a galaxy.
What is bigger the solar system or the sun?
The solar system includes the sun and all things orbiting it, so naturally the solar system is bigger than the sun.
