Which planet has the coldest average temperature?

Quick Answer

Uranus is generally the coldest planet on average, with temperatures near 49 K, or about minus 224 °C. Even though Neptune is farther from the Sun, Uranus can be colder overall.

The Full Story

Uranus is usually considered the coldest planet in the Solar System by average atmospheric temperature. Measurements from spacecraft and observations put its cloud tops around 49 kelvin, which is roughly minus 224 degrees Celsius. That makes it colder than Neptune in the average sense, even though Neptune is farther from the Sun. Scientists think Uranus’s unusual internal heat flow may help explain why it is so cold.
