39691 (1996 RR31) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 1996 RR31 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1996 RR31 orbits the sun every 4,380 days (11.99 years), coming as close as 4.77 AU and reaching as far as 5.71 AU from the sun. 1996 RR31 is about 12.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
1996 RR31's orbit is 3.78 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.
1996 RR31's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 13, 1996. It was last officially observed on Dec. 24, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 789 observations used to determine its orbit.
