Orbit

Terentia orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.6–3.3 AU once every 5.01 years (1,832 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins at Simeiz, 5 days after its official discovery observation.

Physical characteristics

In the SMASS taxonomy, is classified as a Ch-type, a hydrated subtype of the carbonaceous C-type asteroids.

Naming

This minor planet was named after Lidiya Terent'eva (1879–1933), female collaborator at the Simeis Observatory.
