Most of these folks have it part right, but they're dancing around the real answer.
"AQUEOUS" simply means dissolved in water. An aqueous solution is a solution whose SOLVENT is water, plain and simple.
A liquid does not have to be water. A solution does not have to have water as its solvent. A pure liquid with nothing else dissolved in it, is sometimes referred to as a "neat" liquid.
Pure 100% ethanol or pure 100% mercury is a liquid, not a solution (and certainly not an aqueous solution).

Aqueous - a solution in which water is the solvent
Liquid - the state of an element in which the shape is dictated by the form of the container

an aqueous subtance is a subtance that can be dissolved in water and a liquid substance is simply a substance in the liquid phase ( usually a solvent, eg. water)

It is the difference between a mixture (solution) and a pure molten substance. The solution has solute and solvent.

Aqueous means dissolved in water.
Liquid means the pure thing on its own.

Aqueous is water. Liquid is any liquid, not only water.
