The possibility of life on Uranus is extremely slim. It is too cold for life its average temperature is –214°C. Uranus is a giant ball of gas and liquid. The surface of Uranus consists of blue-green clouds composed of tiny crystals of methane. Far below these observable clouds are most likely thicker cloud layers made up of liquid water and crystals of ammonia ice. Deeper yet -- about 4,700 miles (7,500 kilometers) below the visible cloud tops maybe an ocean of liquid water containing dissolved ammonia. Uranus has a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field has trapped high-energy, electrically charged particles -- mainly electrons and protons. Uranus does not have an Oxygen atmosphere. The atmosphere of Uranus is made up of about 83 percent hydrogen, 15 percent helium, 2 percent methane, and small
amounts of ethane and other gases. I highly doubt Uranus has any form of life.
In our Solar System it is questioned if microbial life survives on Enceladus. Enceladus is one of Saturn's innermost moons. Scientists have found seas beneath Enceladus's surface. "Enceladus has warmth, water and organic chemicals, some of the essential building blocks needed for life," said Dennis Matson. Other scientists believe they have yet to find liquid water (whose existance is questioned) before they can truly believe life exists on Enceladus. I personally think there may possibly be life on Enceladus. Some organisms can bare the freezing temperature of -214 degrees Celsius. Although there is believed to be heat in the core of Enceladus. Enceladus has its own magnetic field which protects it from objects hitting into it. Satellites have found essential elements needed for life, but have yet to find more.
