Materials behave very differently at extremes of temperature and pressure. While Uranus may be far from the sun, the vast pressure of its gaseous atmosphere might mean that the melting point of the crystalline form of carbon is at a much lower temperature than here on Earth.

So, you are saying even though Uranus is where the sun don’t shine, the vast pressure of the gaseous atmosphere might lower the melting point of crystalline forms of carbon (like that Taco Bell burrito I ate) and liquefy it? Ruh Roh, I think I’m in trouble.
Uranus is gaseous?
