'''Atira asteroids''' {{IPAc-en|ə|ˈ|t|ɪr|ə}} or '''Apohele asteroids''', also known as '''interior-Earth objects''' ('''IEOs'''), are [[Near-Earth objects]] whose orbits are entirely confined within [[Earth]]'s orbit;<ref name="NEO-groups" /> that is, their orbit has an [[aphelion]] (farthest point from the Sun) smaller than Earth's [[perihelion]] (nearest point to the Sun), which is 0.983 [[astronomical unit]]s (AU). Atira asteroids are by far the least numerous group of [[near-Earth object]]s, compared to the more populous [[Aten asteroid|Aten]], [[Apollo asteroid|Apollo]] and [[Amor asteroid|Amor]] asteroids.<ref name="neo-jpl-stats" />
