Orbit and dynamics
Between its closest point (0.758 AU) and its farthest (1.73 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 0.972 AU over every revolution.
One full revolution takes 1.39 yr (507 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 1.244 AU.
An eccentricity of 0.391 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
The orbital plane is tilted 8.15° relative to the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 40.3 km/s at perihelion and falls to 17.7 km/s at aphelion.
Because q < 1 AU and Q > 1 AU, this orbit geometrically intersects the region of Earth's orbit.
Size and surface
Neither a measured diameter nor a reliable absolute magnitude is available for 2007 RS1, so its physical size remains unconstrained.
Observation record and orbit quality
Astrometry from 19 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.8405 arcseconds.
Condition code U = 7 signals a poorly constrained orbit, so its future path should be treated as provisional.
About these computed values
Orbital periods, perihelion and aphelion speeds, and diameter estimates on this page are computed by SpaceAtlas from the JPL SBDB orbital elements. They are derived quantities, not values copied from the source catalogue.
