2020 AV2 is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit that is entirely confined within Earth's orbit. NASA JPL has classified 2020 AV2 as a "Near Earth Asteroid" due to its orbit's proximity to Earth, but it is not considered potentially hazardous because computer simulations have not indicated any imminent likelihood of future collision.
2020 AV2 orbits the sun every 151 days (0.41 years), coming as close as 0.46 AU and reaching as far as 0.65 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2020 AV2 is probably between 1.395 to 3.119 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to Mount Everest.
2020 AV2's orbit is 0.35 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an 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.
2020 AV2's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Jan. 4, 2020. It was last officially observed on Jan. 23, 2020. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 135 observations used to determine its orbit.
