Is there potential for life on pluto? There may be a potential for life on pluto, as some scientists at NASA believe that there is most likely a ice water under the crust of the planet. the heat is believed to happen due to some volcanic activity or radioactive decay causing energy to be released. The reason scientists believe that there is water is because there are surface fractures and some mountains on the planet, as shown by the New Horizons probe. The water is believed to be 100 to 180 KM thick. However there is no possibility of life on the surface of the planet because of the extreme cold temperature and the thin atmosphere. But when the sun becomes a red-giant and the habitable zone expands out there may be potential for life on the surface.
