35277 (1996 RV27) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 1996 RV27 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1996 RV27 orbits the sun every 4,380 days (11.99 years), coming as close as 5.05 AU and reaching as far as 5.42 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1996 RV27 is probably between 10.631 to 23.771 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
1996 RV27's orbit is 4.05 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.
1996 RV27's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 10, 1996. It was last officially observed on Feb. 13, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,094 observations used to determine its orbit.
