16213 (2000 CG85) is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 CG85 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 CG85 orbits the sun every 2,130 days (5.83 years), coming as close as 2.98 AU and reaching as far as 3.49 AU from the sun. 2000 CG85 is about 20.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
The rotation of 2000 CG85 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 263.99 hours.
2000 CG85's orbit is 2.02 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.
2000 CG85's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 8, 1983. It was last officially observed on May 31, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,626 observations used to determine its orbit.
