2020 JJ is a very small asteroid whose orbit crosses the orbit of Earth. NASA JPL has classified 2020 JJ 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 JJ orbits the sun every 675 days (1.85 years), coming as close as 0.87 AU and reaching as far as 2.14 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2020 JJ is probably between 0.003 to 0.006 kilometers in diameter, making it a small to average asteroid, very roughly comparable in size to a school bus or smaller.
2020 JJ's orbit is 0.00 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that its orbit is very close to Earth's orbit.
2020 JJ has 1 close approaches predicted in the coming decades:
| Date | Distance from Earth (km) | Velocity (km/s) |
|---|---|---|
| May 4, 2020 | 13,404 | 14.357 |
2020 JJ's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 4, 2020. It was last officially observed on May 4, 2020. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 26 observations used to determine its orbit.
