Asteroid 2007 OR10 Distance from Earth
The distance of Asteroid 2007 OR10 from Earth is currently 13,462,779,148 kilometers, equivalent to 89.993120 Astronomical Units. Light takes 12 hours, 28 minutes and 26.9975 seconds to travel from Asteroid 2007 OR10 and arrive to us.
The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid 2007 OR10 from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance data is measured in Astronomical Units and sampled with an interval of 1 day.
The value of the reported distance might be somewhat inaccurate around the times of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth. The value of the distance of 2007 OR10 from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.
Closest Approach of Asteroid 2007 OR10 to Earth
Between 1 January 2013 and 30 December 2100, the closest approach of Asteroid 2007 OR10 to Earth happens on Thu Aug 22 2013 at a distance of 85.875962 Astronomical Units, or 12,846,861,017 kilometers:
NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.
Asteroid 2007 OR10 Brightness
The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 2007 OR10 is 21.45.
The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 2007 OR10, according to the most recent ephemerides data. Magnitude data is sampled with a 2 days interval and there might be inaccuracies for objects changing brightness very rapidly during the course of a few days. For comets there could be large discrepancies between the observed and predicted brightness because of their highly dynamic behaviour.
