==Orbit and Size== |
|||
90376 Kossuth's orbit lasts for 5.38 years- aboout 5 AU. It orbits between planets [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]]. Being small, 90376 Kossuth can be compareable to [[Human|humans]] and even [[Elephant|elephants]]. This may be why it was discovered 202 years after first [[minor planet]] [[Ceres (dwarf planet)|Ceres]]. |
