Kakkuri is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Kakkuri as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Kakkuri orbits the sun every 2,050 days (5.61 years), coming as close as 2.56 AU and reaching as far as 3.77 AU from the sun. Kakkuri is about 17.6 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Philadelphia.
The rotation of Kakkuri has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 27.00 hours.
Kakkuri's orbit is 1.56 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.
Kakkuri's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 4, 1975. It was last officially observed on June 24, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,456 observations used to determine its orbit.
