14916 (1993 VV7) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 VV7 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 VV7 orbits the sun every 1,650 days (4.52 years), coming as close as 1.82 AU and reaching as far as 3.65 AU from the sun. 1993 VV7 is about 7.6 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1993 VV7 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 13.50 hours.
1993 VV7's orbit is 0.97 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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 VV7's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 10, 1993. It was last officially observed on June 22, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,061 observations used to determine its orbit.
