16375 (1981 EM10) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1981 EM10 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1981 EM10 orbits the sun every 2,060 days (5.64 years), coming as close as 2.90 AU and reaching as far as 3.44 AU from the sun. 1981 EM10 is about 12.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
1981 EM10's orbit is 1.90 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.
1981 EM10's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 9, 1981. It was last officially observed on July 1, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,790 observations used to determine its orbit.
