What is quasi moon ?
A quasi moon is a term used to describe an asteroid or space rock
that orbits the sun in similar time frame as that of mother planet but
is slightly influenced by mother planet 's gravitational force.
It appears to accompany the mother planet during the journey around
the sun but is not considered a natural satellite.
As quasi moon share a weak gravitational link with their planet, they
tend to escape this link and hurtle out of the orbit eventually.
