Why is Uranus Colder Than Neptune if Neptune is Farther From The Sun?

- Uranus and Neptune are the most distant planets in the solar system; both share similar characteristics that are classified with their category, Icy Giants, because both have shallow temperatures. However, even though Neptune is the farthest planet, Uranus is the coldest. Why is this happening?
Let's find out!
In the solar system, we have observed that the planets closest to the sun are usually hotter and the farthest ones colder. However, this rule is not always followed since Venus is the hottest planet, even though Mercury is the closest.
In the case of Uranus, something similar happens since it is colder than Neptune, although the latter is a billion kilometers farther away. While Neptune, the most distant planet in our Solar System, is 4500 million kilometers from the Sun, Uranus, the second farthest planet, is only 2880 million kilometers away and is colder.
The atmosphere is more important than the distance
While the distance to the sun is a critical factor that determines the temperatures of the planets, probably the atmosphere is even more so; for example, in the case of Venus, it is much hotter than Mercury because its dense atmosphere traps heat and does not let it out, which causes a lasting greenhouse effect that keeps the surface of the planet consistently above 480 ° C.
In the case of Uranus, the atmosphere also plays a crucial role in understanding why it is colder than Neptune.

I'm staggered by the wind speeds in Neptune's upper atmosphere. They could probably rip you to shreds.
They definitely would - unless they stay roughly the same over wide distances so that you can simply travel with them.
They’d probably rip uranus apart.
It's wind shear that destroys you. The speed of a cloud band would just carry you calmly.
@@electrikoptik You beat me down to it, Damn it!
If Uranus is too cold then maybe you should try some Taco Bell...
We absolutely need to explore Uranus more!
Ayo?
yeah both meanings
..........IN 2620,ACCORDINGLY TO FUTURAMA,IT'LL BE RENAMED INTO *_URRECTUM_* ,NICE??
=CANT WAIT THAT FOR MYSELF INDEED WHEN THERE JOKES WILL BE CUT......HEHE......
You need to pay if you want to explore 😉
At least buy me dinner first.
So, Uranus is colder not only because the Sun doesn't shine there, but also, because of gases (1:21)?
Uranus has a lot of gas
Stinky gas
Huge balloon made from gas of fart
makes sense
......ACCORDINGLY TO FUTURAMA,IN 2620 IT'LL BE RENAMED INTO *_URRECTUM_* TO CUT THESE JOKES
=........WAITING WITH IMPATIENCE,RIGHT???
Uranus is getting a lot of attention these days from various sources.
You mean like from your nose 👃🏼?
💨 💨 💨What does it smell like?
@@lsudx479 best smell in the world 🌍

I don’t know why something smacking into a planet hard enough to cause it’s axis to tilt wouldn’t ADD energy and therefore heat?
yeah I don't understand how that would work I'd say its cold mostly due to its incline 42 years in absolute dark for billions of years equals cold.
Because it disrupts the planet's core. Of course that in the moment of impact it will generate A LOT of heat but it dissipates over a few decades. The core gets impared and the planet loses part of its magnetic field and atmospheric density with its ability to trap heat being also reduced. The core doesn't spin as fast and the heat generation is compromised
I just wanted to know what could smack into a gas giant
Energy, even from huge collisions, doesn't last forever. I mean, Earth has cooled down from getting whacked by Theia
Wr don't actually know if Earth got hit and merged with another planet.
That scenario just happens to fit with what we see today.
But as far as getting rid of heat is concerned.
"Despite billions of years of cooling, our planet still has about half of the heat it was born with. Earth may have formed more than 4.5 billion years ago, but it's still cooling. A new study reveals that only about half of our planet's internal heat stems from natural radioactivity."
Uranus is quite cold but mine is very hot!😂
Neptune might be slightly colder at -360 degrees Fahrenheit vs -357 degrees Fahrenheit. It depends on the source and there are many scientists who say Neptune is colder and others who say Uranus is. That is because they are both likely about the same temperature on average but either could be colder in any moment
How? The surface of both planets is like 2000 degrees Fahrenheit
@@johnhawthorn5393 dude do you know anything about the solar system obviously they are cold as they are far from the sun
@@johnhawthorn5393Time for your medication sir
@@johnhawthorn5393 Lol what my guy?

Who told you so? It's completely wrong. Uranos doesn't even have a surface in that sense. It has a troposphere on whos lower end tje temperature is indeed 320K which is 47°C, a bit too warm for humans and at crushing 10MPa (100 times Earth's atmospheric pressure).
“A vast body collided with Uranus…” umm sir there are children here.
I claim ownership of Uranus
I bet you would😮
I love Uranus

Have always why uranus is so cold, especially after all the friction given to it during entry.
Rofl
I'm here to learn about the Solar System and laugh at Uranus jokes. And I'm all out of brain cells
One day i will be able watching any Uranus video without laughing. One day
No you/I won't.
I'm 63, and I still laugh 😅.
It has the chemical composition of a fart. Seriously, methane and hydrogen with traces of hydrogen sulphide. (Which causes a fart's smell) The only difference is Uranus has helium in its atmosphere
@@kennyfordham6208 hopefully you'll still be laughing when you're 69.
@@ChrisCooper312 Definitely 😆!
I think all options of exploration of Uranus should be considered. I dont think they went far enough, I want them to announce to the world that hey soon, Uranus, were coming and were coming hard and fast and we wont leave Uranus alone until we've penetrated every last inch of that place. And just in case we've think weve done enough to Uranus to satisfy our curiosity I say we Penetrate again and again just to make sure we left our mark.
Ayo🤨
🤣🤣🤣
URANUS NEPTUNE
For some reason this is the funniest shit I have ever read.
Could Uranus turn into a black hole if it was large enough?
The good news is that Neptune is more active than Uranus (7:30)
What....like on OnlyFans?
Uranus's assmosphere is gaseous!
It smells aweful.
hehe, assmosphere
Lmao 💀😭
If I had my way, I would destroy Uranus
My two favorite planets
❤😊
Neptune has an internal heat source unlike Uranus causing it to be much warmer than it’s sister planet
They both mean Neptune and Uranus
Females are Saturn Venus Pluto Mars
I have it on good authority uranus is rather warm not cold 😄
I thought it was Neptune that was warm.
Why are the planets in our solar system so different from each other, chemically, atmospheric, heat, volume, and tilt and orbit? How is this possible?
I found myself asking the same thing
Most like to do with the creation of the Solar System,
It is unique enough to give birth for life on Earth
Because when the sun formed, the disc of material separated in different atoms due to gravity and solar winds causing heavier elements to stay close to the sun, thus we find the most rocky planets close to the sun!
Stop right now, these questions will only lead you into never ending madness.
What if life on earth was a potato early on. And the sun baked it becoming everything we see. 😋😂
Great information !
Bigger question, how do they get accurate temperature readings?
Infrared imaging from various space probes and telescopes.
Thank you❤😊
We should investigate it more, and we need to hear more of this chilling music. 😎
I think most storms on neptune and uranus form from the differences in the temperature's of the different gases and there distances from the sun !
It’s not only there atmosphere but neptune has a core made out of carbon that turns into diamonds and you know you need a lot of heat and pressure to make diamonds so the core of neptune is the source of heat instead of the sun making neptune colder
I'm watching this past my bedtime.
I don't need sleep, I need answers!
I heard NASA wants to take a core sample from Uranus
How on earth , I mean space are they gonna do that Uranus is 20au away from the sun and when we get to Uranus getting the sample from the core is hard there's cold temperatures strong winds and it's core is a 5000 degrees Celsius
Only if they are gentle
I better get dinner and a movie!
They are just sitting on the data
Do gas giants planets have an air gap between the upper atmosphere and lower planet section like the sky and land, similar to earth or are they ballons full of gas ?
Balloons full of gas. They have absolutely no land. It’s just gas brought together by gravity.
They have actual surfaces
They have liquid oceans due to pressure from their sky's. Below that is a core with a molten interior, I figure a mantle exists between the heated oceans and core.
@@josephjohnson6849 liquid oceans of methane?
I heard Uranus is a warm and gassy atmosphere
Assmosphere*
Had fun making that thumbnail I see
we should really probe uranus more. uranus has so much to teach us.
My what is colder than Neptune!!!???
Uranus, of course!!!!
This video defies our maturity
11:23 "It is not yet clear why Uranus' internal temperature is so low. . . Another hypothesis is that there is some barrier in the upper layers of Uranus the prevents heat from the core reaching the surface." So you're saying one possibility is that it could be very hot inside for all we know, it's just we can't take its temperature at present, right?
Have to use the right thermometer or it breaks off
I always thought Uranus was warm 😂
**
Uranus's temp could freeze Neptune into ice!
Is it necessary to put a thermometer and Uranus next to each other?
Humans need to land on Unranis so we can probe deeper
These are both fascinating planets! :D
I’ve heard some people theorize that Uranus has a tilted axis as a result of the gravitational pull between Saturn and Neptune (and possibly Jupiter and/or Pluto) 🤙
Note: Remember that Pluto becomes more closer to the sun then Neptune during its orbit 💁♀️
Closer* not more closer.
Than*
The reason Uranus has a tilted axis and rotates retrograde is because it had a collision with a planetoid in its past.
Pluto has such a small and insignificant gravitational pull compared to the gas/ice giants. How big do you think Pluto is?
@@nosredep7873 How does a planetoid collision tilt a gas planet? I'm not questioning it, I was taught this my whole life, I genuinely want to know how that happens. Wouldn't it just go through it? If they were both gas giants, wouldn't they ultimately end up merging somehow? And if the planetoid was a rocky planet, wouldn't it just get torn apart by it? Rocky planets are not typically that large. Also wouldn't Uranus have a makeup that shows a rocky planet was absorbed by it?
I also don't know how an impact makes Uranus internal heat dissipate faster, wouldn't it create more heat during the collision? I must have something wrong with my conceptualization of how planets work.
@@no-barknoonan1335 gas giants have rocky cores
@@nosredep7873 Do they? I was taught we don't know but we think they must have some type of solid core. Their core could be solid Hydrogen for all we know. With that said, how would an impact tilt it? You're saying the impact would hit the solid core and impact that this altering rotation? The core would be solid most likely only because of the temperature and pressure, so I would be curious what collisions like that would do, it would have to be fairly head on to tilt it like that presumably, and also based on the fact that it would need to strike the core and we aren't sure how large the core really is, we don't even know for certain if it has a solid core, but it would be nearly impossible for it not to.
So apparently... a large object caused Uranus to tilt at a weird angle. Is that right?
An Earth sized object slamming into Uranus could have caused it,,but who knows?
Uranus is always colder in the fall and winter. You need a blanket some underwear and pajamas.
Neptune has beautiful color
NASA was very excited by what voyager 2 found on Uranus 😅
it’s required for the colour. the zodiacal light hits the heart chakra in Astrology.
so did earth lose a lot of its core heat when it was hit by the thing that made our moon? are we lucky our planet isn't warmer on the inside? if that means the surface has less volcanic activity then that seems like a good thing for civilizations...
if we knew the temperature of the dark side of uranus before sending anything to fly by it then that seems very clever of scientists..we're so far and close to the sun i'd imagine all we'd ever see would be the warm side..but scientists seems really good at picking up cluse from everywhere...
Probably because no one was sitting on this park bench before me?
My 2 favorite planets
Wish either the voice was louder or the music lower.
The beginning is the same as the ending
Because just like Venus is the hottest despite mercury being closest to the sun
Uranus is coldest despite Neptune being the most distant planet
Venus is the hottest and Uranus is the coldest
But both of them have clouds with rotten egg-like smells.
Both Venus and Uranus have the same ending word in their name which is 'us'
I thought he was gonna tell the second guy to look over there before hitting him
What about jupiter and saturn 🪐?
I love how this guy pronounces it like "Urine-nus", as if that's any better than saying "Ur-anus".
Someday someone will propose “yur-RAHN-is” and end all the fun. A real planet-killer.
Haha! The thumbnail.
5:32 Helium or methane? I doubt that helium absorbs red light to any significant degree.
I always wonder if it takes 84 years for the one of his orbit around the sun is it gonna happen soon in my lifetime maybe it's a halfway there or it just started another orbit lol
Yes, Neptune needs to be explored more. Might be easier to do so from Triton though.
We need to explore Uranus way more
What if we had drones absorb the atmosphere and sample it in to a vacuum or space on earth to test if we can achieve oxygen?
bro, the worst part is that people keep making wrong facts and dumb jokes about uranus its like they put unique & interesting facts of uranus into neptune... like bruh quit stealing facts from Uranus... no wonder why its the most underrated planet in the solar system...
Because Frosty the Snowman lives there
are you seriously telling me that if i want something cooler than neptune i gotta get into uranus?
Damn that's so cool
0:07 besides pluto ofc
What if there was a 2nd sun behind pluto
I'm just here, for the jokes 😅.
Always good to get heating pads if Uranus is colder.
As a matter of fact, Neptune's windier and stormier than Uranus, 🔱
Yeah but is it colder than Pluto?
Those, who came for Uranus jokes, SHAME ON YOU!
You are right. Uranus is not a joke.
@@jamesparson no you're right Uranus is beautiful 😁
@@scottvelez3154especially from the inside 🤭
jokes? no, i only came for uranus itself
Fact: Uranus Was The Farthest Planet Before But Since The 5th Gas Giant Got Ejected By Jupiter They Changed Orbits Then Neptune Became Farthest
We need to warm up Uranus.
Yes we should they both are the less explorer of all of them. Heck we know more about our sun and Pluto then Uranus and Neptune
i love neptune
Me too

I feel these two don't get talked about as much....is always Mars...or Jupiter...or Saturn...you know the cool planets.
Neptune 😊
😊❤❤
Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to travel to Neptune and look out your window and gaze at that beautiful planet?
That would be possible once Triton has been colonized. Then Neptune would be like a blue sun on the starry sky.
Came for the comments about Uranus lol
Because I am sitting in a bucket of dry ice.
Before watching the video:
“Gas composition?”
What’s up with the music? Is Batman coming?
Neptunes winds can easy reach 2000 km/h. So without protection you would die by winds that will cut your body like knifes.
Uranus sounds like a punk rock show.
Accidental thumbnail malfunction or on purpose ?
Not when I have hot chilli sauce.
Maybe we should probe it?
Ουρανός (heavens) is such a beautiful name... Such a tragedy lol😅
Its like with venus and mercury its matter of thick athmosphere of venus keeping heat on the planet
Why is Venus hotter than Mercury?
Greenhouse effect
Atmosphere
That like saying how is Venus the hottest planet when Mercury is closest to the Sun
A thermometer between two planets and talking about Uranus, coincidence?
I don't think so.
It just is?
Methane is not enough to warm Uranus. I tried setting it on fire once.
When I see a video about Uranus, I head for the comments.
Because I put an ice cube in it.
Because you are not in it 😢
How did something "hit" Uranus if it's gas? I don't understand that theory of why it's tilted on its "side".
You need to turn down the music its hard for people with hearing impairment to make out what you are saying..
I was told that uranus is where the sun don't shine. 😊
Uranus and neptune 🌧️💧 diamond
