796 Sarita
796 Sarita is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was discovered 15 October 1914 by German astronomer Karl W. Reinmuth. This is a main belt that is orbiting at a radius of 2.63 AU with a period of 4.28 yr and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.32. The orbital plane is inclined at an angle of 19.052° from the plane of the ecliptic. Tholen (1989) initially classified it as type XD, although later authors treated it as an M-class body. The object's visual albedo is considered characteristic of the latter type.[3] It has a significantly higher radar albedo than most main belt objects, which also suggests a higher metallic content.[2]
