In our day and age, humans can live anywhere, because we now have the

ability to transport a small region with a living environment to any place we

want to go, such as earth-orbit or the surface of the moon. But if we don't

recreate a living environment ... with air, water, pressure, temperature, food,

radiation shielding, etc. ... then humans can't live anywhere except the surface

of the Earth. And even there, there are large areas that are definitely questionable,

like the Sahara, the top of Mt. Everest, the north Pole, etc.

If you were not wearing a pressurized suit, you would explode, just like in outer space because Ceres has no atmosphere.

If your pressurized suit was not heated, you would likely freeze to death, because you would be standing on a very cold planet.

If your suit was pressurized and heated, you would be able to jump very high, because the gravity is only about 3% of earth's and there is not atmosphere to slow you down either.

Without a magnetic field (just as with Mars) you would be exposed to high levels of radiation on Ceres, that would eventually be lethal.

More details of whether or not living beneath the surface of Ceres would be feasible will probably be known once the NASA satellite Dawn arrives there in 2015.

no it is not possible to live on Ceres in 2015 NASA is sending a probe to Ceres to check it out and to see if it has suitable water under the crust to support life but so far we can not live on Ceres's

Well you couldn't live there without a space suit or air-tight building, why?

  • A very weak, or no, atmsophere (probably out of water vapor)
  • No known magnetic field
  • Very low gravity (about 3% of Earth's)
  • Too cold

Though there are advantages

  • More fresh water found in the water-ice layer of Ceres than in all of Earth's lakes, river, and ice caps.
  • Most massive object in the asteroid belt, so higher gravity (but still low compared to Earth)
  • Though we couldn't stand on the surface without a pressurized helmet, alien life is never out of the question...

No you couldn't because there is almost no oxygen on Ceres and there is no food or water to be eaten or drunk.

No you couldn't because there is almost no oxygen on Ceres and there is no food or water able to be eaten or drunk. Also because of Tal and Eitan Shooshani.

No. Ceres could not sustain any form of life from Earth.
