2022 YG is a very small asteroid whose orbit crosses the orbit of Earth. NASA JPL has classified 2022 YG as a "Near Earth Asteroid" due to its orbit's proximity to Earth, but it is not considered potentially hazardous because computer simulations have not indicated any imminent likelihood of future collision.
2022 YG orbits the sun every 366 days (1.00 years), coming as close as 0.81 AU and reaching as far as 1.20 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2022 YG is probably between 0.008 to 0.037 kilometers in diameter, making it a small to average asteroid, very roughly comparable in size to a school bus or smaller.
2022 YG's orbit is 0.00 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that its orbit is relatively close to Earth's orbit.
2022 YG has 250 close approaches predicted in the coming decades:
