Their exteriors are much colder, as they get little heat from the Sun. Deeper within their dense atmospheres, they are hotter. Jupiter and Saturn both have the ability to generate heat internally, which makes them warmer than they would be without it, but the mean temperature of Jupiter is still -162 Fahrenheit, and Saturn is -218 Fahrenheit. The clouds of Uranus and Neptune are colder still.
