While Neptune is farther from the sun, Uranus has a lower average temperature of -214°C (-353°F). This is due to several factors, including:
* Internal heat: Uranus has a surprisingly low internal heat, making it cooler than Neptune despite being closer to the Sun.
* Unusual axial tilt: Uranus is tilted on its side, meaning its poles are exposed to the Sun for long periods, while its equator receives less sunlight.
* Strong winds: The planet has strong winds that distribute heat away from the equator, making the poles even colder.
While Uranus is the coldest planet overall, it's important to note that the temperature at the core of all gas giants is extremely hot due to pressure.
