Uranus could probably not support life as we know it. Uranus is one of the gas giants, and it may in fact be more like a gargantuan slush ball.
We shouldn't rule Uranus out when it comes to life, especially given that it may be chiefly made of water. We do not know its interior composition below 300 km. We know its density, which is 1.3g/cm3, and we can only speculate what it is made of. It is even a possibility the gas-liquid transition takes place at the bottom of the troposphere (300 km below where the pressure is 1 bar). The general view is that the watery layer (possibly icy because of the very high pressures) doesnt start until at least 1,000 km below the upper clouds, but we cannot prove that it doesnt start as little as 300 km below the clouds - in which case there could be an ocean with, indeed, a clear gas-liquid boundary.
At this level the temperature is in the region of 50c and the pressure is around 100 bars - that is roughly the same as the pressure on Venus - so we wouldn't be able to go out and paddle a canoe on it, and probably not much sunlight penetrates that deep, but we could send robotic space probes that deep, and life on earth exists deep in the ocean at similar pressures.

∙ 10y agoNo, Uranus is not capable of supporting life.
There is no liquid water so it can not support life.
All life, as we know it, needs liquid water to survive.
So therefore Uranus is not capable of supporting life.

Why cant Uranus support life?
Uranus is a ball of gas - there is no solid place for life to exist in the first place. The temperature and atmosphere are also issues, and there is no water.
Is there food on the planet Uranus?
No
Can humans live on Uranus with a gas mask?
No, humans could not live on the planet Uranus with a gas mask. A gas mask is a device that is designed to keep out poisonous gas, but it does not supply oxygen. If there is no breathable air, a gas mask won't help you. In addition Uranus is far too cold for human life, and the pressure of the unbreathable atmosphere is too high. Very elaborate life support equipment would be needed for humans to be able to live on Uranus.
Is their any sign of life on uranus?
No.
Why life not possible in uranus?
Yes uranus is the only other planet which can support life because it has just the right temperature although it doesn't have any oxygen. In 1972 an astronaut actually set foot on uranus but he was crushed by the pressure and died.
Can Uranus moons support life?
It is very unlikely.
Is it possible that Uranus could support life?
Highly unlikely
Why cant Uranus support life?
Uranus is a ball of gas - there is no solid place for life to exist in the first place. The temperature and atmosphere are also issues, and there is no water.
What color are the people on Uranus?
Planet Uranus does not support life as we know it. It is pretty much just a giant ball of gases.
Would humans survive on Uranus?
No, not unless the person had very advanced life support systems. Uranus' atmosphere is toxic and very cold. It does not even have a solid surface.
Is there food on the planet Uranus?
No
Can animals survive there on Uranus planet?
No no life has been detected on Uranus. No life form known is thought to be able to survive on Uranus..
Was there life in Uranus?
No
Do plants and animals live on Uranus?
of course not! there is no life on uranus.
Is there any possibility of life on Uranus?
There is not a high possibility of life on Uranus, it is very cold -224C on its average.
How is the surface of Uranus?
very cold and windy making it impossible for life on Uranus
