(3167) Babcock Asteroid


The absolute magnitude of the object is 11.3 which is the brightness of the object. A higher absolute magnitude means that the object is faint whereas a very low number means it is very bright.

The Longitude of Ascending Node of the object is 17.63397 degrees. The Argument of Perihelion is 257.5409. It is the angle along the orbit of a planet or other Solar System object as measured from the ascending node (analogous to right ascension and longitude) Ref:Hawaii.

The mean anomoly is 333.22401, is the angular distance of the planet from the perihelion or aphelion. Ref:Dictionary.The Semi-Major Axis of the orbit is 2.5420492, which is the furthest point from the centre to the edge of an elliptical point.

The orbital inclination, the angle at which Babcock orbits in relation to the orbital plane is 15.55839 degrees. The orbital eccentricity is 0.1073717, it is the degree at which Babcock orbits close to a circular (0) orbit as opposed to an elliptical (1) orbit.
