Orbit and dynamics
Between its closest point (0.666 AU) and its farthest (1.008 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 0.342 AU over every revolution.
One full revolution takes 0.77 yr (280 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 0.837 AU.
An eccentricity of 0.205 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
The orbital plane is tilted 5.28° relative to the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 40.1 km/s at perihelion and falls to 26.5 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 2011 CQ1, so its physical size remains unconstrained.
Observation record and orbit quality
Astrometry from 35 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.4939 arcseconds.
Condition code U = 6 indicates a moderately constrained orbit; predictions decades ahead still carry noticeable uncertainty.
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.
