Orbit and dynamics
The path is an ellipse reaching 0.627 AU from the Sun at perihelion and 1.356 AU at aphelion, a radial span of 0.729 AU.
Applying Kepler's third law to a = 0.992 AU gives an orbital period of 0.99 yr, or about 361 days.
An eccentricity of 0.367 makes the orbit moderately elongated.
The orbital plane is tilted 5.78° relative to the ecliptic.
By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 44 km/s at perihelion and falls to 20.3 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 2025 PF2, so its physical size remains unconstrained.
Observation record and orbit quality
The current orbit solution is based on 27 observations and has a weighted RMS residual of 0.4262 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.
