81876

81876 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 23, 1998, by the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) program. The asteroid has a perihelion (closest point to the Sun) distance of approximately 1.8 astronomical units (AU) and an aphelion (farthest point from the Sun) distance of around 2.5 AU.

81876 is a small asteroid, with a diameter estimated to be around 2-3 kilometers. Its orbital period is approximately 3.85 years, which means it takes nearly 3.85 years to complete one orbit around the Sun. The asteroid's orbital inclination is around 8.6 degrees, indicating a relatively low angle of its orbital plane in relation to the ecliptic (the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun).

Little is known about the composition or physical characteristics of 81876, as it is a small and distant object in the asteroid belt. However, its discovery and orbital properties provide valuable information for astronomers studying the distribution and behavior of small bodies in the solar system.

The asteroid was likely formed in the early days of the solar system, when the disk of gas and dust surrounding the young Sun collapsed to form the planets and smaller objects. Its position in the asteroid belt suggests that it may be a remnant of the rocky material left over from the planet formation process.

Further study of 81876 and other asteroids like it can help astronomers gain a better understanding of the history and evolution of our solar system.
