These are lists of asteroids, e.g. by discoverer or by number. See list of minor planets for an overview and numbering and naming conventions . Pages in category "Lists of asteroids"
Among the numbered minor planets with an unambiguous period solution are (459872) 2014 EK 24, a 60-meter sized stony NEO with a period of 352 seconds, as well as (335433) 2005 UW 163 and (60716) 2000 GD 65, two main-belt asteroids, with a diameter of 0.86 and 2.25 kilometers and a period of 1.29 and 1.95 hours, respectively (see full list).

This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of December 2024, all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors.

The size and shape of asteroids vary significantly, ranging from small rubble piles under a kilometer across and larger than meteoroids, to Ceres, a dwarf planet almost 1000 km in diameter. A body is classified as a comet, not an asteroid, if it shows a coma (tail) when warmed by solar radiation, although recent observations suggest a continuum ...
Unless specified otherwise, subcategorized asteroids should be sorted using a 0-padded 6-digit sortkey based on their numerical designation. Otherwise, their provisional designation should be used. For example, 493 Griseldis would use [[Category:Small-asteroids collision|000493]]. (6178) 1986 DA would use [[Category:Radar-imaged asteroids|006178]].
