(Correct me if am wrong) I know they say carbon based life forns can live, but can humans live on Saturns Moon Titan? Or is Mars more livable?

Not humans, but who knows.. there may be some sort of life there (microbial?)

The Earth is ideally situated in the solar system. We are in the livable zone between Venus and Mars where it's neither too hot or too cold. Life as we know it, can only survive in this small region, the perfect distance from a star. Titan (like Venus and Mars) is similar to Earth in size and because it has an atmosphere, but is too far away from the Sun to be warm enough. There have been planets discovered in livable zones orbiting other stars that may be Earth like, but are too far away that we may never have the Technology to visit them.

Well actually, it may be possible for microorganisims to live, seeing as some here on earth live in really extreme conditions. But titan, as everyone knows I'm sure, has ethane and methane everywhere. it doesn't actually "rain" ethane and there are no methane oceans since it can't rain and it has nowhere to really form since it is a gas giant. That's another reason why we won't be able to live there since we would just basically float to the bottom since there is no solid surface.

It would be illogical to answer this question, seeing as I have never been to either planet or moon.
Only an Earth like, class M world can support real life as we know it.
You humans have always fascinated me!!
You will make a most interesting specimen indeed!!

There couldn't be any life on Titan, it's oceans are all solid Methane and Ethane. Everything is frozen.

Not unless you can beathe methane and live at a few hundred degrees below zero.

Neither. Oxygen, or lack of it, is something of a gating factor.
