The three asteroids range in size, between that of a Boeing-777 and of a 50-story building.

Therefore, 2022 YL1 is around the same size as the wingspan of a Boeing 777, 2013 YA14 is similar in scale to an American football field, while 2022 TE14 will be around the same size as a 50-story building.
