Wallonia is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit that crosses the orbit of Mars. NASA JPL has not classified Wallonia as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Wallonia orbits the sun every 1,180 days (3.23 years), coming as close as 1.66 AU and reaching as far as 2.70 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Wallonia is probably between 6.145 to 13.742 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of Wallonia has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 7.57 hours.
Wallonia's spectral type None (Tholen) / S (SMASSII) indicates that it is likely to contain and .
Wallonia's orbit is 0.71 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
Wallonia's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 2, 1981. It was last officially observed on Dec. 21, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,762 observations used to determine its orbit.
