Nada is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Nada as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Nada orbits the sun every 1,670 days (4.57 years), coming as close as 2.26 AU and reaching as far as 3.26 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Nada is probably between 9.785 to 21.880 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
The rotation of Nada has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 5.83 hours.
Nada's orbit is 1.25 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.
Nada's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 17, 1930. It was last officially observed on July 1, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 4,559 observations used to determine its orbit.
