These are lists of asteroids, e.g. by discoverer or by number. See list of minor planets for an overview and numbering and naming conventions . Pages in category "Lists of asteroids"
Among the numbered minor planets with an unambiguous period solution are (459872) 2014 EK 24, a 60-meter sized stony NEO with a period of 352 seconds, as well as (335433) 2005 UW 163 and (60716) 2000 GD 65, two main-belt asteroids, with a diameter of 0.86 and 2.25 kilometers and a period of 1.29 and 1.95 hours, respectively (see full list).
Asteroids are rocky, metallic, or icy bodies with no atmosphere, and are broadly classified into C-type (carbonaceous), M-type , or S-type (silicaceous). The size and shape of asteroids vary significantly, ranging from small rubble piles under a kilometer across to Ceres, a dwarf planet almost 1000 km in diameter. A body is classified as a ...
This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of December 2024, all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors.
Smallest Perihelion: 2004 FN 8 Smallest Semi-Major Axis: (164207) 2004 GU 9 Smallest Aphelion: 1991 VG Largest Perihelion: (399457) 2002 PD 43 Largest Semi-Major Axis: 1999 XS 35
Satellites in geostationary orbit. From the list in the first section, these are the closest known asteroids per year that approach Earth within one lunar distance.More than one asteroid per year may be listed if its geocentric distance [note 1] is within a tenth of the lunar distance, or 0.10 LD.
The Pallas family asteroids have a mean orbital radius between 2.7 and 2.8 AU and an inclination between 30° and 38°. Named after 2 Pallas. The Griqua asteroids have an orbital radius between 3.1 AU and 3.27 AU and an eccentricity greater than 0.35. These asteroids are in stable 2:1 libration with Jupiter
Unless specified otherwise, subcategorized asteroids should be sorted using a 0-padded 6-digit sortkey based on their numerical designation. Otherwise, their provisional designation should be used. For example, 493 Griseldis would use [[Category:Small-asteroids collision|000493]]. (6178) 1986 DA would use [[Category:Radar-imaged asteroids|006178]].
