Difference between 4179 Toutatis and Lagrangian point

4179 Toutatis vs. Lagrangian point

4179 Toutatis, provisional designation, is an elongated, stony asteroid and slow rotator, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo and Alinda group, approximately 2.5 kilometers in diameter. In celestial mechanics, the Lagrangian points (also Lagrange points, L-points, or libration points) are positions in an orbital configuration of two large bodies, wherein a small object, affected only by the gravitational forces from the two larger objects, will maintain its position relative to them.

Similarities between 4179 Toutatis and Lagrangian point

4179 Toutatis and Lagrangian point have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Astronomical unit, Chang'e 2, Earth, Jupiter, Moon, Near-Earth object, Orbital resonance, Sun, The Planetary Society.

Orbital resonance

In celestial mechanics, an orbital resonance occurs when orbiting bodies exert a regular, periodic gravitational influence on each other, usually because their orbital periods are related by a ratio of small integers.
