Habitable for something but not very habitable for me.

Regarding Europa. I would attempt no landing there.

I bought into a timeshare condo on Europa. Parking is kind of a hassle, but nice ocean view. The ten foot tall lobsters are delicious. Hard to find enough butter for them, though. And you should see the cooking pot.

As cc said, could be a little chilly, you’ll want to bring a jacket if you go. :’)

"...but still liquid hydrocarbons beneath the dense atmosphere of large moon Titan."
Methane and ethane, emitted by fossil fuel, of course!

Everywhere in the universe is habitable.
Well, a nuclear power plant probably wouldn’t be able to cool a sun’s surface or interior enough for it to be habitable.

Only one of these four moons has an atmosphere. Titan and it’s methane, ugh! Methane stinks but the upside is there can never be any smoking on the planet. One careless flame and BOOM!!!
