2022 EB5

2022 EB5 belongs to the Apollo group of near-Earth asteroids, whose orbits cross the path of Earth; with a semi-major axis of 2.83 AU it takes 4.76 yr to circle the Sun.

Orbit and dynamics

The path is an ellipse reaching 0.888 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 4.772 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 3.884 AU.

Applying Kepler's third law to a = 2.83 AU gives an orbital period of 4.76 yr, or about 1,739 days.

The high eccentricity (0.686) produces a strongly elongated orbit, so the object spends most of its time far from the Sun.

The orbital plane is tilted 10.42° relative to the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 41 km/s at perihelion and falls to 7.6 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 2022 EB5, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

The current orbit solution is based on 176 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.2733 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.
