Near-Earth object / ID: 2162116

Object: 162116

162116 is a near-Earth object of the APO orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits which cross the Earth’s orbit similar to that of 1862 Apollo. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 329m - 735m across. It has been followed since 1998-09-21 across 91 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2044-Feb-25 10:55, passing at 97.659 LD. JPL classifies it as a potentially hazardous asteroid, a label driven by its size and how close its orbit comes to ours — not by a predicted impact.
