11731 (1998 KF47) is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1998 KF47 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1998 KF47 orbits the sun every 2,120 days (5.80 years), coming as close as 2.70 AU and reaching as far as 3.76 AU from the sun. 1998 KF47 is about 14.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Baltimore.
1998 KF47's orbit is 1.68 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.
1998 KF47's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Jan. 27, 1979. It was last officially observed on Dec. 17, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,378 observations used to determine its orbit.
