Difference between 3268 De Sanctis and Asteroid

3268 De Sanctis vs. Asteroid

3268 De Sanctis, provisional designation, is a Vestian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately in diameter. Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the inner Solar System.

Albedo

Albedo (albedo, meaning "whiteness") is the measure of the diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation received by an astronomical body (e.g. a planet like Earth).
