Why doesn't the planet Uranus explode if it contains so much hydrogen and methane?

JollyRanchers45:

The atmosphere of the planet Uranus contains mostly hydrogen, helium, and methane. Interestingly, the methane in the atmosphere is what gives Uranus its distinctive blue color. Since Uranus contains effectively zero free oxygen, the hydrogen and methane in the atmosphere does not burn or explode. (Google)
