An Earth trojan is an asteroid that orbits the Sun in the vicinity of the Earth–Sun Lagrange points L 4 (leading 60°) or L 5 (trailing 60°), thus having an orbit ...
There are 28 known Neptunian trojans, [11] but the large Neptunian trojans are expected to outnumber the large Jovian trojans by an order of magnitude. [12] [13] 2010 TK 7 was confirmed to be the first known Earth trojan in 2011. It is located in the L 4 Lagrangian point, which lies ahead of the Earth.

The most common and best-known class is the trojan, which librates around one of the two stable Lagrangian points (Trojan points), L 4 and L 5, 60° ahead of and behind the larger body respectively. Another class is the horseshoe orbit , in which objects librate around 180° from the larger body.

Earth trojans, such as 2010 TK 7, are NEOs that orbit the Sun (not Earth) on the same orbital path as Earth, and appear to lead or follow Earth along the same orbital path. Other small natural objects in orbit around the Sun may enter orbit around Earth for a short amount of time, becoming temporary natural satellites.
