2009 KY36 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2009 KY36 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2009 KY36 orbits the sun every 136,000 days (372.35 years), coming as close as 27.83 AU and reaching as far as 75.51 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2009 KY36 is probably between 38.775 to 86.704 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
2009 KY36's orbit is 26.90 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.
2009 KY36's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 27, 2009. It was last officially observed on June 24, 2009. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 10 observations used to determine its orbit.
