1993 RP is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 RP as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 RP orbits the sun every 90,300 days (247.23 years), coming as close as 34.91 AU and reaching as far as 43.85 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1993 RP is probably between 49.494 to 110.673 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
1993 RP's orbit is 33.90 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.
1993 RP's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 15, 1993. It was last officially observed on Sept. 17, 1993. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 6 observations used to determine its orbit.
