Detailed explanation-1: -Another explanation is that although the outer planets are larger, they are primarily composed of gases, which are characteristically less dense than solids. As we travel away from the sun, the temperature rapidly drops.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neptune is an incredible three billion miles away from the Sun. However, the coldest planet is not Neptune, but Uranus – even though Uranus is a billion miles closer to the Sun than Neptune.
