6760 (1980 KM) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1980 KM as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1980 KM orbits the sun every 1,670 days (4.57 years), coming as close as 2.47 AU and reaching as far as 3.04 AU from the sun. 1980 KM is about 7.5 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
1980 KM's orbit is 1.46 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.
1980 KM's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 22, 1980. It was last officially observed on Jan. 21, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,078 observations used to determine its orbit.
