Water is compared to potential alternative solvents like ammonia-water mixtures [1] and non-polar hydrocarbons {fact:2, fact:3} that exist on the surface or subsurface of Titan, serving as a benchmark for evaluating the moon's habitability.

claimNon-polar hydrocarbon solvents, such as methane and ethane, are potential alternatives to water for life and are known to exist in liquid form on the surface of Titan.
claimAmmonia and ammonia–water mixtures remain liquid at temperatures far below the freezing point of pure water, making them potentially suitable for life on planets and moons outside the water-based habitability zone, such as under the surface of Saturn's moon Titan.
