2022 QV is a very small asteroid whose orbit crosses the orbit of Earth. NASA JPL has classified 2022 QV 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.
2022 QV orbits the sun every 584 days (1.60 years), coming as close as 0.62 AU and reaching as far as 2.12 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2022 QV is probably between 0.017 to 0.038 kilometers in diameter, making it a small to average asteroid, very roughly comparable in size to a school bus or smaller.
The rotation of 2022 QV has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 0.06 hours.
2022 QV's orbit is 0.00 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that its orbit is relatively close to Earth's orbit.
2022 QV has 9 close approaches predicted in the coming decades:
