8180 (1992 PY2) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1992 PY2 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1992 PY2 orbits the sun every 1,560 days (4.27 years), coming as close as 2.35 AU and reaching as far as 2.90 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1992 PY2 is probably between 8.252 to 18.452 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Boston.
The rotation of 1992 PY2 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 13.01 hours.
1992 PY2's orbit is 1.39 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.
1992 PY2's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 7, 1988. It was last officially observed on Feb. 9, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,963 observations used to determine its orbit.
