Not unless you bring your own Earth-like habitat, including energy, food, and air.

Pluto is at a temperature just above absolute zero (around -230° C). The atmosphere itself is frozen solid almost all of the time. Unlike the space around Earth, the region near Pluto does not get enough energy from the Sun, so you would need to bring your own energy, your own air, and your own food. The one necessity present is water (ice), but it exists in very hard frozen states.

Pluto isn't suitable for life for two main reasons. The first is that there is no breathable air on Pluto. Pluto's atmosphere is very thin and consists of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide - not a breathable mix. Also, the atmospheric pressure is extremely low: 0.00000143% the pressure of Earth's atmosphere. When Pluto heads out to aphelion (the farthest point in its orbit from the Sun), the atmosphere freezes; when it's closer, those gases sublimate from the surface and form the very thin atmosphere. These conditions would require a spacesuit or a habitat of some sort. The second reason is the temperature. With its great distance from the Sun, the surface temperature varies between -400 and -360 degrees Fahrenheit. This is much too cold for any known life form to exist. Again, this would require a spacesuit or a habitat. Even if we had the technology for a pressurized, warm habitat full of breathable air, the distance to Pluto makes such a project very infeasible. Other objects in the solar system are closer and provide more resources; the planet Mars and the natural satellite Titan are two examples and that is all folks

Well, that depends.

You could live on another planet if it had a breathable atmosphere and reliable resources to eat and drink. or you could life on a dead wasteland with an adequate amount of gravity, you could hope round outside in a space suit and then go into little huts filled with oxygen.

If you are interested you can look at the NASA project to get people

on Mars

It depends entirely upon the conditions of the planet. If the planet was too small for its own atmosphere or an atmosphere that was toxic to humans, some sort of airtight base would have to be established. If the planet had conditions similar to Earth, humans could potenially live there. But, there would be a great chance that lifeforms had already evolved there.

No, as there is no oxygen in the outer space for us to breathe in. Also, on other planets, it may be too hot, as hot as 3 million degrees Celsius, or too cold.

There's no way to be sure, so it is possible, but most scientist would say no.

This is impossible to answer for a planet with unknown conditions or characteristics.

Why do things live on the other planets?

If you are asking why do things live on other planets, the answer is because life developed there under the proper conditions. Of course, then you have to ask what is considered life, what are your ideals as to why life comes into existence, and what proof do you have that it even exists on other planets.
