Interpreted illustration · dimension stated in the fact sheet.

What does this number measure?

Effective diameter estimated in the NASA/JPL SBDB database. This describes an overall size and does not assume a spherical shape. A resolved image of its surface is not necessarily available.

Compare the stated dimensions

The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
