2004 KV18 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2004 KV18 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2004 KV18 orbits the sun every 60,500 days (165.64 years), coming as close as 24.62 AU and reaching as far as 35.68 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2004 KV18 is probably between 47.485 to 106.179 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
2004 KV18's orbit is 23.60 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.
2004 KV18's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 24, 2004. It was last officially observed on July 31, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 25 observations used to determine its orbit.
