At that distance, it could take more than 1,000 years to orbit the sun. Solar system distances to scale showing the newly discovered 2018 VG18 'Farout' compared to other known solar system objects.

To give you a sense of scale, one AU represents the average distance that separates Earth from the Sun, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers.

"So those are the kind of distances that we're talking about — 5.5 metres for the sun, and you've got to go 20 kilometres to get to the edge of the solar system." ...
