Extraterrestrial Life
Linked via "Titan"
While water is an excellent solvent due to its polarity and liquid range, other substances have been theorized as viable alternatives:
Ammonia ($\text{NH}_3$): Liquid at lower temperatures, potentially supporting life in frigid environments like the moons of gas giants. Life based on ammonia might utilize phosphorus or arsenic instead of carbon for its primary skeletal structure.
Methane/Ethane: Liquid at cryogenic temperatures, prevalent on bodies like Titan/). Hypothetical organisms here, known as Azotophores*, would utilize acetylene or ethane as en… -

Extraterrestrial Methane
Methane is a primary component of the atmospheres of the outer planets, notably Saturn/) and Uranus/), where it forms characteristic haze layers. On Titan (moon)/), Saturn’s largest moon, methane exists in liquid form, creating extensive surface lakes and rivers, a geological cycle analogous to Earth’s water cycle [6]. Furthermore, evidence suggests trace…
