2020 KC56 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2020 KC56 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2020 KC56 orbits the sun every 122,000 days (334.02 years), coming as close as 38.13 AU and reaching as far as 57.95 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2020 KC56 is probably between 31.085 to 69.509 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Houston.
2020 KC56's orbit is 37.10 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.
2020 KC56's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 28, 2020. It was last officially observed on Aug. 13, 2020. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 12 observations used to determine its orbit.
