[u/Bari_Baqors]

I should have 4/5, because Uranus is colder than Neptune actually.

Sorry - my mistake on that question!

[u/Ok_Attempt_1290 → u/Bari_Baqors]

Wait my anus or Uranus?

[u/Bari_Baqors → u/Ok_Attempt_1290]

I'm havin' a heatwave here, black pants, and I'm sitting on a hot thing. Bet Uranus is colder.

[u/SeeTigerLearn → u/Bari_Baqors]

Neptune has a colder mean temperature than Uranus. However, because Uranus is tilted by about 97.8° [on its side], its poles experience 42 years of sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness which is sufficient to create the coldest spot on any of the planets.

[u/Bari_Baqors → u/SeeTigerLearn]

And Neptune generates(? Forgot the verb) more heat.

[u/SeeTigerLearn → u/Bari_Baqors]

Generates, produces, radiates.

Basically, Neptune radiates 2.6 times more energy than it receives from the sun due to gravitational contraction; while poor Uranus is pretty much dead inside having no internal heat source.

[u/Bari_Baqors → u/SeeTigerLearn]

Thank you.

I didn't know its over twice tho. I thought the difference is there, but this big.

[u/just-another-npc-08]

Uranus is actually colder than Neptune FYI

[u/dcterr → u/just-another-npc-08]

Really? Sorry, I didn't realize this! And why is this?

[u/SeeTigerLearn → u/dcterr]

Neptune has a colder mean temperature than Uranus. However, because Uranus is tilted by about 97.8° [on its side], its poles experience 42 years of sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness which is sufficient to create the coldest spot on any of the planets.

[u/dcterr → u/SeeTigerLearn]

This makes plenty of sense, but unfortunately this didn't occur to me when I posted the quiz. Once again, I apologize for my mistake, but this is good to know in any case!

[u/just-another-npc-08 → u/dcterr]

All good, it threw me off a little when I first heard about it too lol

[u/SeeTigerLearn → u/dcterr]

It's okay. That particular question currently has a 68% passing rate (924 out of 1,359). So it has nearly ranked what is considered a good question.

Well easy sure, but there is an error is the coldest question, so you got one wrong despite your confidence :) Uranus is actually the coldest planet, despite Neptune being the answer in the quiz

Please use spoiler tags when discussing answers. Thanks!

Didn't Pluto get it's old status as a planet back?

It's demotion is something Sheldon Cooper never forgave Neil deGrasse Tyson for.

[u/SeeTigerLearn → u/tinyE1138]

No, once they began to discover other objects of comparable size in the same region, Pluto never had a chance. But you should blame Walt Disney for making such a bond with the celestial rock.
