Ulferika is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Ulferika as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Ulferika orbits the sun every 1,320 days (3.61 years), coming as close as 2.01 AU and reaching as far as 2.69 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Ulferika is probably between 1.662 to 3.716 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to Mount Everest.
Ulferika's orbit is 1.00 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.
Ulferika's orbit is determined by observations dating back to April 13, 1991. It was last officially observed on April 16, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,119 observations used to determine its orbit.
