There are parts inside the Earth (near the core) that are liquid. Presumably causing the Earth's magnetic field (though there are celestial bodies that are completely solid while they have a magnetic field around them).
In a comment to another question, JeopardyTempest pointed out that solid iron and nickel (the main liquid stuff) has a density that is 15% higher than that of the liquid state. I can imagine that if this liquid stuff turns solid (though I'm not sure this will happen) this will affect the solid parts. But how?
