What other places in the solar system could be possible candidates for having life?
Question:
Answer:
I seen something about there maybe being life on Jupiter, creatures like jelly fish that just float around in the clouds or stingray type life forms but i can't see there being much life out there.
there is no such planet where u can live apart 4m earth!
Sun.
besides mars, some scientists think the moon, europa, may harbor lifeforms
A man (Wu Kang), a lady (Chang Er) & a hare (Jade Rabbit) live on the Moon.

You've pretty much listed all the best candidates. Calisto might be an option, if a liquid sea is shown to be present under all that ice. The problem for most of them isn't a lack of water, atmosphere, or sunlight. There are plenty of bacteria on earth that hold up well to environments like those. The real issue is temperature. The chemical processes that are necessary to sustain the most basic life processes (as we understand them) simply don't work on places like Titan, where surface temperatures are consitantly cold enough to freeze methane into a solid. That is seriously cold, something like 200 degrees below zero centigrade.
A few brave exobiologists have posited that some very bizzare life forms might develop in the atmospheres of Jupiter or Saturn, but it's a long shot. The necessary chemicals are there, but the violent atmosphere, with enourmous wind speeds and drastic pressure gradients, would be tough for even the most rudimentary bacteria to withstand.
There actually could be some possibility of life within the astroid belt beyond Mars. There are several very large objects out there that could harbor some simple forms of life.
Good choice of 'life'! I wonder though, with the 'solid' planets, would it be possible that - because of the planets internal heat if there could be some form of life buried in the 'soil'. You know, they have found microbes hanging around volcanos here, so maybe...
i dont rem exactly but its a moon of Saturn, which is found out by scientists to be most suitable for human form to survive
Life as we know it?Well,nowhere yet!but who knows!!
Well it's not in our solar system but just out side it, but maybe the Oort cloud might have microbial or bacterial life frozen in it's ice but who knows.
