The Chilly Champion: Uranus

While Neptune experiences frigid temperatures, Uranus takes the crown for the coldest planet. Measurements have recorded a bone-chilling -224℃ (-371℉) on Uranus, significantly colder than Neptune's average of -214℃ (-353℉). ^1 This makes Uranus the coldest planet we know of.
