List of Solar System objects most distant from the Sun
Summary
These Solar System minor planets are the furthest from the Sun as of January 2026. The objects have been categorized by their approximate distance from the Sun on that date, and not by the calculated aphelion of their orbit. The list changes over time because the objects are moving in their orbits. Some objects are inbound and some are outbound. It would be difficult to detect long-distance comets if it were not for their comas, which become visible when heated by the Sun. Distances are measured in astronomical units. The distances are not the minimum (perihelion) or the maximum (aphelion) that may be achieved by these objects in the future.
