I guess fact it's mostly gas means I don't have to ask, "where's Uranus?"

But if we're counting the liquid parts of Earth, shouldn't we include the squashy centers of Uranus and Jupiter?

The "liquid parts" of earth are just a thin puddle over basically the same solid shell covering the rest of the planet, relatively speaking. Uranus does have a small rocky core (so probably should have been included tbh), but Jupiter's core is just liquid and doesn't even have a clear boundary between the gas and the core.
