2022 EE5

2022 EE5 belongs to the Apollo group of near-Earth asteroids, whose orbits cross the path of Earth; with a semi-major axis of 1.045 AU it takes 1.07 yr to circle the Sun.

Orbit and dynamics

Between its closest point (0.928 AU) and its farthest (1.163 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 0.235 AU over every revolution.

One full revolution takes 1.07 yr (390 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 1.045 AU.

An eccentricity of 0.113 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

Its inclination of 3.87° keeps it close to the plane of the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 32.6 km/s at perihelion and falls to 26 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 EE5, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

Astrometry from 24 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.5199 arcseconds.

Condition code U = 5 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.
