The video explains why Uranus is the coldest planet in the solar system. Despite being the seventh planet from the sun, Uranus holds the record for the lowest temperature due to its unique core and atmospheric composition. Unlike other planets, Uranus does not emit more heat than it receives from the sun. Its core is composed of water, methane, and ammonia, which transition from gases to liquids under pressure. The atmosphere contains less methane than Neptune, trapping less heat. Uranus's extreme axial tilt results in severe seasonal changes, contributing to its coldness.
