Sawyer Hogg is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Sawyer Hogg as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Sawyer Hogg orbits the sun every 1,710 days (4.68 years), coming as close as 2.48 AU and reaching as far as 3.11 AU from the sun. Sawyer Hogg is about 9.6 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
Sawyer Hogg's spectral type None (Tholen) / S (SMASSII) indicates that it is likely to contain and .
Sawyer Hogg's orbit is 1.49 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
Sawyer Hogg's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 28, 1971. It was last officially observed on Jan. 21, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,218 observations used to determine its orbit.
