Difference between 4179 Toutatis and Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect

4179 Toutatis vs. Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect

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. The Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect, or YORP effect for short, changes the rotation state of a small astronomical body – that is, the body's spin rate and the obliquity of its pole(s) – due to the scattering of solar radiation off its surface and the emission of its own thermal radiation.

Similarities between 4179 Toutatis and Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect

4179 Toutatis and Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asteroid, Astronomical unit, Degree (angle), Precession, Rotation period, Semi-major and semi-minor axes, Sun.
