2017 CZ35

2017 CZ35 belongs to the Apollo group of near-Earth asteroids, whose orbits cross the path of Earth; with a semi-major axis of 1.065 AU it takes 1.10 yr to circle the Sun.

Orbit and dynamics

The path is an ellipse reaching 0.793 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.337 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.544 AU.

Applying Kepler's third law to a = 1.065 AU gives an orbital period of 1.10 yr, or about 401 days.

An eccentricity of 0.255 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

The orbital plane is tilted 14.2° relative to the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 37.5 km/s at perihelion and falls to 22.2 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 2017 CZ35, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

The current orbit solution is based on 15 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.47 arcseconds.

Condition code U = 9 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.
