List of Solar System objects most distant from the Sun

These Solar System minor planets are the farthest from the Sun as of March 2020. The objects have been categorized by their approximate heliocentric distance from the Sun, and not by the greatest calculated aphelion of their orbit. The list changes over time because the objects are moving. Some objects are inbound and some are outbound. It would be difficult to detect long-distance comets if it weren't for their comas, which become visible when heated by the Sun. Distances are measured in astronomical units (AU, Sun–Earth distances). The distances are not the minimum (perihelion) or the maximum (aphelion) that may be achieved by these objects in the future.

This list does not include near-parabolic comets of which many are known to currently be more than 100 AU (15 billion km) from the Sun, but are too far away to currently be observed by telescope. Trans-Neptunian objects are typically announced publicly months or years after their discovery, so as to make sure the orbit is correct before announcing it. Due to their greater distance from the Sun and slow movement across the sky, trans-Neptunian objects with observation arcs less than several years often have poorly constrained orbits. Particularly distant objects discovered in 2020 may only be announced in 2022 or later.
