Its average distance from the Sun, not from Earth.
How bright it would look from a fixed, standard distance — a measure of the object rather than of the view from here.
One trip round the Sun.
OBSERVING
] FROM WHERE YOU AREWhat it takes to see 182223 for yourself. Everything in this part of the page is worked out for a real horizon, a real night and the equipment you say you have.
CATALOG DATA
] 14 FIELDSThe raw catalogue values, as the source published them, with the error bars where one was published — sorted by what each set of figures is about rather than by the order they happened to be stored in.
THE ORBIT
The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.
