The total power radiated by Uranus in the far infrared (i.e. heat) part of the spectrum is 1.06 ± 0.08 times the solar energy absorbed in its atmosphere. [22] [23] In fact, Uranus's heat flux is only 0.042 ± 0.047 W/m 2, which is lower than the internal heat flux of Earth of about 0.075 W/m 2. [22]
Simulated Earth view of Uranus from 1986 to 2030, from southern summer solstice in 1986 to equinox in 2007 and northern summer solstice in 2028. The Uranian axis of rotation is approximately parallel to the plane of the Solar System, with an axial tilt of 82.23°. Depending on which pole is considered north, the tilt can be described either as ...
Temperature profile of the Uranian troposphere and lower stratosphere. Cloud and haze layers are also indicated. The Uranian atmosphere can be divided into three main layers: the troposphere, between altitudes of −300 [a] and 50 km and pressures from 100 to 0.1 bar; the stratosphere, spanning altitudes between 50 and 4000 km and pressures between 0.1 and 10 −10 bar; and the thermosphere ...
Uranus has been the butt of a lot of jokes (stop giggling). And it doesn't help that it's huge — roughly four times the size of Earth — or gassy with an atmosphere comprised partly of methane.
What’s known about Uranus could be off the mark. An unusual cosmic occurrence during the Voyager 2 spacecraft’s 1986 flyby might have skewed how scientists characterized the ice giant, new ...

68 K mean of Uranus; 77.35 K, boiling point of bound nitrogen ... Mean on Earth during Snowball Earth period [21] ... Maximum standard temperature recommended for hot ...
In 1986, Nasa’s Voyager 2 flew by the seventh planet in the Solar System, providing scientists with their first and only glimpse of Uranus, and shaping their understanding of it since.
