It is classified as an Apohele asteroid and does not cross Earth's orbit.

Just because an asteroid crosses the earth's orbit doesn't necessarily mean that there is a threat.

So we will cross the Earth's orbit much earlier than previously, long before the planet itself has arrived.

I'm sure you understand that many small bodies cross Earth's orbit without incident.

Grant had missed seeing Mars close up; the red planet was on the other side of the Sun when they'd crossed its orbit.

Within a few days, just as he's crossing Neptune's orbit and diving into the real outer darkness, he should be getting several very different packages.

It was the first asteroid recognized to cross Earth's orbit.

Or the wayward planet which was expected to cross Pern's orbit in roughly eight years?

She couldn't move now in either direction, backwards or forwards, without crossing its ilb-omened orbit at some point.

Many objects in space cross the Earth's orbit from time to time, such as comets and rocks.
