Best Answer

No. Humans need more than just a supply of oxygen to maintain life in space. Because there is gravity on Earth, we are accustomed to this, and maintain our "shape" with the pressure of gravity, but if we went to space where there is no gravity, we would actually, explode. Because we are used to the pressure of gravity, our bodies are actually pushing out to keep shape, but once there is nothing pushing in, and we're pushing out, we explode.

Can humans live on Uranus with a gas mask?

No, humans could not live on the planet Uranus with a gas mask. A gas mask is a device that is designed to keep out poisonous gas, but it does not supply oxygen. If there is no breathable air, a gas mask won't help you. In addition Uranus is far too cold for human life, and the pressure of the unbreathable atmosphere is too high. Very elaborate life support equipment would be needed for humans to be able to live on Uranus.
