Description Knowing the absolute magnitude (H) of a minor planet is only the start to truly knowing how big the object is. You can have a smaller body that is more reflective or you can have a larger body that is less reflective. Different albedo estimates will result in different size estimates. The above diagram shows the size difference between an object with an albedo of 0.2 and the same object with an albedo of 0.7
