|=Kagara is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified |=Kagara as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
|=Kagara orbits the sun every 106,000 days (290.21 years), coming as close as 40.06 AU and reaching as far as 47.48 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, |=Kagara is probably between 154.367 to 345.176 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Maryland.
The rotation of |=Kagara has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 9.65 hours.
|=Kagara's orbit is 39.10 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.
|=Kagara's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 11, 2005. It was last officially observed on Jan. 27, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 225 observations used to determine its orbit.
