Didn't it just come out in the news that there were a ton of hydrocarbons on Saturn or something like that?
Try Saturn's largest moon Titan.
How could hydrocarbons be organic if they exist on other planets that don't seem to have life?
They are called organic because hydrocarbons consist of hydrogen and carbon. Organic chemistry is the study of the compounds of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The term organic in this case does not mean the living, but rather the four most common elements in the living.
