109200

109200 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 16, 1998, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) team at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is approximately 3.5 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of about 4.4 Earth years. Its orbit is moderately eccentric and inclined, with an average distance from the Sun of about 2.7 astronomical units (AU). The spectral type of 109200 is classified as X-type, indicating a primitive composition, likely consisting of carbonaceous material. This classification suggests that the asteroid may contain organic compounds and water, making it of interest for further study in the context of understanding the early solar system and the origins of life on Earth. As of now, no moons have been discovered orbiting 109200.
