Comet 292P/Li is an object whose orbit features a relatively short period, low inclination, and is controlled by Jupiter's gravitational effects. NASA JPL has not classified 292P/Li as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
292P/Li orbits the sun every 5,550 days (15.20 years), coming as close as 2.53 AU and reaching as far as 9.74 AU from the sun.
292P/Li's orbit is 1.60 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.
292P/Li's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 23, 1998. It was last officially observed on April 23, 2018. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 498 observations used to determine its orbit.
