10818 (1993 FK81) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 FK81 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 FK81 orbits the sun every 1,950 days (5.34 years), coming as close as 2.94 AU and reaching as far as 3.16 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1993 FK81 is probably between 5.502 to 12.304 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1993 FK81 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 729.52 hours.
1993 FK81's orbit is 1.95 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
1993 FK81's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 20, 1979. It was last officially observed on Jan. 16, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,916 observations used to determine its orbit.
