Answers:
Your urine is mostly water, and the rest is made up of urea and uric acid from the proteins. The urea is made up of ketones from fat, salts, minerals, excess vitamins, hormones, and drugs.

If you don't drink enough water than the urea will be yellow, but if you drink an ample amount of water than your urine should be clear.Health Question & Answer

Yes. If you drink a lot of water, your urine is going to be clearer - less yellow.

Think of when you're sick and very dehydrated - your urine is probably very yellow. If you drink a lot of water, it's not. Clear urine means you're properly hydrated.Health Question & Answer

There are all kinds of factors:
How much water you drink
How frequently you urinate
