The distance of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW from Earth is currently 232,046,825 kilometers, equivalent to 1.551137 Astronomical Units. Light takes 12 minutes and 54.0249 seconds to travel from Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW and arrive to us.

The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW 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.

Closest approach of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW to Earth

Between January 2013 and December 2100 the closest approach of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW to Earth happens on Mon Jan 17 2095 at a distance of 0.00331668 Astronomical Units, or 496,169 kilometers:

NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.

Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW brightness

The current visual magnitude of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW is 31.10.

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW, 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.

Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW rise and set times

Today's Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW rise, transit and set times from Greenwich, United Kingdom [change] are the following (all times relative to the local timezone Europe/London):

The rise and set times are defined as the time at which the upper limb of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 AW touches the horizon, considering the effect of the atmospheric refraction. As the atmospheric conditions cannot be modeled precisely the times reported here should be considered correct with an approximation of few minutes.
