Uranus lacks an internal source of heat. One consequence of this is that:
A)Uranus lacks dynamic atmospheric activity.
B)it is much colder than Neptune, even though it is closer to the Sun.
C)the atmosphere is very thin because most of the atmospheric materials lie frozen on the surface.
D)frozen material on the surface results in a much higher albedo than, say, Neptune.
