51075 (2000 GG162) is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit that crosses the orbit of Mars. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 GG162 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 GG162 orbits the sun every 1,300 days (3.56 years), coming as close as 1.60 AU and reaching as far as 3.07 AU from the sun. 2000 GG162 is about 1.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to Mount Everest.
The rotation of 2000 GG162 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 1.00 hours.
2000 GG162'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.
2000 GG162's orbit is determined by observations dating back to April 22, 1982. It was last officially observed on Nov. 15, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,497 observations used to determine its orbit.
