[3] Mithra orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.7–3.7 AU once every 3 years and 3 months (1,192 days).
[4] As a potentially hazardous asteroid, it has a low minimum orbit intersection distance with Earth of 0.0462 AU (6,910,000 km; 18.0 LD).
[1] Radar imaging using a delay-Doppler technique at the Arecibo and Goldstone observatories rendered a rotation period of 67.5±6 hours.
[14] According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Mithra measures 1.85 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a high albedo of 0.297, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 2.25 kilometer with an absolute magnitude of 15.6.
Considered to be a rival of early Christianity, both religions shared similar characteristics such as elevation and the ritual of baptism.
