Titan is Saturn's largest moon, and is the only object in the solar system with stable surface liquid methane. The surface temperature is 94 Kelvin, so if exotic methanogenic life exists, it has yet to be found.

You could only live on Titan if you have a life support system, without that it would be impossible to live on titan because of its composition:

Stratosphere:

98,5 % Nitrogen (N2)

1,4 % Methane (CH4)

Lower Troposphere:

95 % Nitrogen (N2)

4,9 % Methane (CH4)

Titan's temperature is (−179 °C, or −290 °F) which is deadly cold for humans and any life we know on Earth.

Humans would need large amounts of life-support gear to survive on Titan due to the lack of breathable air and incredibly cold temperatures, but all of the raw materials to support life exist there in one form or another.

yes humans can look on titanplanet.org.......More specificly, theres like a 75% chance we can live there if we can reach it & if it's not to cold or too hot. It is rather big moon that is the second largest & is bigger than the planets, Pluto & Mercury (sidenote: there are 9 planets) If it stopped orbiting Saturn it would be considered a planet. it is the only moon with an atmoshere & it also has water & oxygen. But it is suspected to be offtly cold. Maybe if we colonize Titan can colonize the other planets

Not very easily! Although Saturn's moon Titan does have a solid surface of rock and ice, and has a hot core, it's atmosphere is composed mostly of nitrogen and methane, as well as other gases. Our own atmosphere is itself 80% nitrogen, but Titan lacks the oxygen which we need to be able to breathe. It is also probably very cold, so any human settlements there would have to be tightly enclosed within sealed structures within which we could manufacture our own oxygen from plant life that we took to the planet, as well as by obtaining it from the planet's own ice. But such a scenario is nowhere near possible at present, nor is it likely to be for hundreds of years- we won't even be able to travel to Mars for nearly a Century from now, which the probes we have sent there can get to in only 8 months. It would take YEARS to travel to Titan, and human technology and resources will not be able to attain this possibility for possibly another Millenium. A human colony on Titan is possible in THEORY, but in practice it is not a possibility for a long time- if ever.
