Neptune is farthest from Sun.
Its natural to think that Neptune is the " coldest planet ".
But in reality, Uranus is much colder than Neptune .....!!!!
Uranus is 6 degree Celsius colder than Neptune which is farthest from Sun
Distance matters but internal heat matters most ....!!!
Neptune is farther from Sun but warmer inside !!!
Uranus is a broken furnace, hence colder ......
Both the planets get almost NO SUN !!!
But internal heat is the big difference ........
Planets are warm from the heat they made when they are formed .
Neptune still has a lot of internal heat leaking out. It gives off 2.6 x more heat than it gets from Sun !!!
Like it has a tiny furnace inside.
Uranus has almost no heat coming out. It gives off the same heat it gets from Sun.
Basically zero extra !!!
That's why Uranus is colder than Neptune .....

First we will know why pizzas are round -----
1. Bakers spin the pizza dough in air. So it takes circular shape.
2. Heat spreads across circular pizza evenly. Square pizza would have burnt corners and soggy middle.
3. Pizza was originated in Italy. Italian ovens are round brick ovens. Hence, pizza is also round !!!
Why pizza boxes are square -----
1. Round boxes waste a lot of material to prepare and cost more. Square boxes are cheaper to make !!!
2. Square boxes stack perfectly in delivery bags , cars and on shelves. Round boxes would roll and waste space.
3. Square box gives extra space in corners.
THERE ARE ROUND PIZZA BOXES !!!
But they cost 30% more and don't stack well for delivery.
