796620

796620 is the numerical designation assigned to a minor planet in the Solar System by the Minor Planet Center. The number indicates that the object's orbit has been sufficiently well determined and that it is the 796,620nd object to receive a permanent catalog entry. At the time of discovery, such objects are given a provisional designation (for example, something like 2010 AB12) before they are numbered, and many receive or retain only the number without a formal name.

The exact orbital classification and physical properties of 796620 are recorded in public databases maintained by the Minor Planet Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. While many numbered minor planets reside in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the specific location, orbital elements, and dynamical classification of 796620 require a look up in these databases for up-to-date details, including semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, and any known satellite status or family associations.

As with other minor planets, if a name has been proposed and approved by the International Astronomical Union, it would be used alongside the numerical designation; otherwise it is primarily identified by the number. Observational data such as the absolute magnitude, estimated diameter, albedo, rotation period, and light-curve information, when available, are compiled and updated as new observations are reported.
