Atira asteroids /əˈtɪrə/ or
Apohele asteroids, also
known as interior-Earth
objects (IEOs), are Near-Earth
objects whose orbits are
entirely confined...

Further subclassification of these,
based on
orbital distance, is used:
Apohele asteroids orbit inside of Earth's
perihelion distance and thus are contained...

These include Aten
