32P/Comas Sola is a mid-sized comet whose orbit features a relatively short period, low inclination, and is controlled by Jupiter's gravitational effects. NASA JPL has not classified 32P/Comas Sola as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
32P/Comas Sola orbits the sun every 3,500 days (9.58 years), coming as close as 2.01 AU and reaching as far as 7.01 AU from the sun. 32P/Comas Sola is about 8.4 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
32P/Comas Sola's orbit is 1.04 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.
32P/Comas Sola's orbit is determined by observations dating back to July 20, 2004. It was last officially observed on July 30, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,125 observations used to determine its orbit.
