does the moon titan have water on it

Question

anonymous · Answer

There is water in it's crystalline form, aka ice. However the only liquid present on that moon is hydrocarbons (oil and the like). Yes there is water, but there is no liquid water.

anonymous · Answer

water ice, but the lakes observed are of liquid methane or ethane

anonymous · Answer

ohhh, k,, then the hydrocarbon gas must come frm the decaying of organisms.. rite...so you are saying that the water on titan is just like that of enceladus(moon of jupiter)...but is there a planet other than the earth that has life(prokaryotes to start with).

anonymous · Answer

methane and ethand don't have to come form living organisms, but I know NASA would like to look! Enceladus looks more interesting (to me) because it appears to have liquid water under its ice crust which could mean life like we know it...

We know of no other planet in the our universe or elsewhere that has any form of life on it.  One interesting proposal recently could be that Mars may now have life on it, but not extraterrestrial origin.  Rather this life was seeded there by us in the 1970's with the Viking lander missions, as it has been found that some bacteria are resistant to the decontamination treatment of the landers, and could even have survived low temperatures and the vacuum of space.  I think it is a small possibility though, but one that we cannot seriously discount.

IT SEEMS THOUGH AS IF WE HAVE DISCARDED THE ENIGMA BEHIND THE EXISTENSE OF ALIENS, THOUGH THE WORD "ALIEN" SOUNDS TOO COMICAL TO USE AS A DENOTATION...EXTERRESTRIAL SOUNDS REAL...BUT WE NEED NOT HAVE A DEBATE OVER THIER EXISTENSE, WE HAVE PROVE OF THEIR EXISTENSE BUT WE CANNOT TRACE THEM...I BELEIVE THEY RESIDE IN OTHER GALAXIES SITUATED IN THE LOCAL GROUP FRM AWAY FRM THE REACH OF EARTH'S DETECTABLE TECHNOLOGIES...THEY VISIT EARTH ALMOST EVERY YEAR YET WE CANNOT TRACE THIER ORIGIN AND LOCATION...THEY MAKE FOOLS PUT OF US...ITS AS IF THEY WERE BEFORE WE WERE...

We have no scientific proof of extraterrestrial contact with earth, and belief is no substitute for hard evidence.  I respect your beliefs, but I don't think it is something that merits discussion on a science board such as here.
