Anonymous Coward User ID: 4851666 United Kingdom 11/07/2011 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Op is looking at the Earth MOID (Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance) but does not understand what it means. It is the closest it comes to Earths orbit path (even if the Earth is not there). So it does not even come close to crossing the path earth takes around the sun. |

Boceph (OP) User ID: 1486701 United States 11/07/2011 01:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The minimum orbital intersection distance (MOID) is the minimum distance between the osculating orbits of two objects. It indicates the closest possible approach of the two objects except where excluded by protective resonance.
