Answer:
A list of known near-Earth asteroid close approaches less than 1 lunar distance
0.0025696 AU (384,410 km; 238,860 mi)) from Earth in 2020.[note 1]
For reference, the radius of Earth is about 0.0000426 AU (6,370 km; 3,960 mi) or 0.0166 lunar distances. Geosynchronous satellites have an orbit with semi-major axis length of 0.000282 AU (42,200 km; 26,200 mi) or 0.110 lunar distances. A number of known asteroids came closer than this in 2020, including 2020 CW and 2020 JJ, which approached Earth within 0.05 lunar distances in February and May 2020, respectively.
While most asteroids on this list are confirmed, well-observed unconfirmed objects with a 50% or greater chance of passing within 1 LD of the Earth are included as well.
