Atira asteroids, also known as Apohele asteroids, are a group of asteroids that have orbits entirely within the orbit of Earth. This means that their maximum distance from the Sun is less than that of the Earth's average distance from the Sun, which is about 1 astronomical unit (AU). Atira asteroids are named after the first discovered member of this group, 163693 Atira, which was identified in 2003.
