22180 (2000 YZ) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 YZ as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 YZ orbits the sun every 4,300 days (11.77 years), coming as close as 4.80 AU and reaching as far as 5.54 AU from the sun. 2000 YZ is about 39.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Houston.
The rotation of 2000 YZ has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 19.39 hours.
2000 YZ's orbit is 3.84 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.
2000 YZ's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 23, 1954. It was last officially observed on June 24, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,860 observations used to determine its orbit.
