Is Uranus colder than Pluto?

No. Uranus has some internal heat, generated by the slow decay of heavy isotopes within its core, and perhaps from gravitational tidal effects with its moons. The sun, however, generates considerable heat from the fusion of atomic nuclei within its core. Most of the light we see from Uranus is reflected from our sun. Very little of it is its own internal infrared radiation.
