64 Aquariiis astarlocated 312light yearsaway from the Sun in thezodiacconstellationofAquarius.64 Aquariiis itsFlamsteed designation.With anapparent visual magnitudeof 6.93,[2]it is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye. The star is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocityof +11 km/s.[4]

Thestellar classificationfor this star is G2/3 IV/V,[3]which indicates thespectrumdisplays mixed traits of aG-type main-sequence starand a moreevolvedsubgiant star.It is 2.6 billion years old and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocityof 8.75 km/s. The star has 1.45 times themass of the Sunand 2.8 times theSun's radius.[5]It is radiating 13[1]times theluminosity of the Sunfrom itsphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof 5,926 K.[5]
