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?

    Yes, I was wondering the same question. Jupiter surface would definitely dwarf anything else

    Jupiter has no surface, just a gradually increasing density. When you sink in the ocean, you eventually reach the ocean floor. On Jupiter you just keep sinking until your surroundings match your density.

    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.
