Key Facts
- Categorized as a Aten-class Asteroid
- Comparable in size to a school bus or smaller (0.06 km diameter)
- A Near Earth Object
- Not a Potentially Hazardous Object
- See orbit simulation
Overview
2000 SG344 is a small asteroid orbiting the sun inside the belt of the inner planets. NASA JPL does not treat 2000 SG344 as potentially hazardous, because its orbit never carries it near Earth.
One lap around the sun takes 2000 SG344 353 days (0.97 years). Over that circuit it swings between 0.91 AU and 1.04 AU from the sun, travelling at an average of 30.12 km/s. At 0.1 kilometers across, 2000 SG344 is roughly the size of a school bus or smaller.
Close Approaches
The orbit of 2000 SG344 stays well clear of Earth's. Its predicted passes are listed below.
These 307 passes come from orbital simulations run by NASA JPL's CNEOS.
