Asteroid (NEO) 2020 VV Distance from Earth
The distance of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 VV from Earth is currently 319,580,878 kilometers, equivalent to 2.136266 Astronomical Units. Light takes 17 minutes and 46.0071 seconds to travel from Asteroid (NEO) 2020 VV and arrive to us.
The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 VV 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 VV to Earth
During the next 10 years, the closest approach of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 VV to Earth happens on Mon Oct 17 2033 at a distance of 0.008962 Astronomical Units, or 1,340,622 kilometers:
Asteroid (NEO) 2020 VV Brightness and Light Curve
The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid (NEO) 2020 VV, 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.
