111806 (2002 CP270) is a mid-sized asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2002 CP270 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2002 CP270 orbits the sun every 4,230 days (11.58 years), coming as close as 4.69 AU and reaching as far as 5.54 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2002 CP270 is probably between 4.815 to 10.766 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
2002 CP270's orbit is 3.70 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.
2002 CP270's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Jan. 19, 2001. It was last officially observed on Dec. 26, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 413 observations used to determine its orbit.
