2000 CA13 is a small asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 CA13 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 CA13 orbits the sun every 2,670 days (7.31 years), coming as close as 1.68 AU and reaching as far as 5.85 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2000 CA13 is probably between 0.665 to 1.486 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than ~97% of asteroids but small compared to large asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the Golden Gate Bridge.
2000 CA13's orbit is 0.69 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.
2000 CA13's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 2, 2000. It was last officially observed on May 21, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 104 observations used to determine its orbit.
