WHAT DOES NEAR-EARTH ASTEROID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Near-Earth object

A near-Earth object is a Solar System object whose orbit brings it into proximity with Earth. All NEOs have a closest approach to the Sun of less than 1.3 AU. They include a few thousand near-Earth asteroids, near-Earth comets, a number of solar-orbiting spacecraft, and meteoroids large enough to be tracked in space before striking the Earth. It is now widely accepted that collisions in the past have had a significant role in shaping the geological and biological history of the planet. NEOs have become of increased interest since the 1980s because of increased awareness of the potential danger some of the asteroids or comets pose to Earth, and active mitigations are being researched. Those NEOs that are asteroids have orbits that lie partly between 0.983 and 1.3 astronomical units away from the Sun. When an NEA is detected it is submitted to the IAU's Minor Planet Center for cataloging. Some near-Earth asteroids' orbits intersect that of Earth's so they pose a collision danger. The United States, European Union, and other nations are currently scanning for NEOs in an effort called Spaceguard.
