Temperature difference between Venus and Mercury

[Agent Smith]

TL;DR Summary

Venus is hotter than Mercury

Why Venus is hotter than Mercury
In the video linked to above, the author explains why Venus, though it's farther away from the sun, is hotter than Mercury. It squares with what I read thousands of years ago. I hope the explanation is correct.

If the video is accurate then I have a question. Is there a similar anomalous temperature-pair in the outer planets? For example, wholly hypothetical, is it (possible) that Uranus is colder than Neptune?

Muchas gracias.

The mean temperature of Neptune is 5C colder than Uranus. However, temperatures vary with time and position, so it is possible that the coldest spot on Uranus is colder than the warmest spot on Neptune.

Venus has a thick gas atmo. Mercury has no atmo.

I did not see the video; is it safe to say that - after distance - presence of an atmo is the primary driver for temps?

Both Uranus and Neptune are gas giants, similar in size and composition. They will have temps completely dominated by distance/insolation.

I'm not sure how there's any useful comparison.
