Sun distance 48 light yearsHD 120036 A
Orange star, High proper motion star Spectral class: K6V Location + Right ascension: 13h 47m 42.281s Declination: -32° 25' 48.553'' (southern hemisphere) Parallax: 68.605 Sun distance: 47.541 ly | 14.6 pc Star positionThe position of a star tells us where it appears in the sky, similar to how we use coordinates like latitude and longitude on Earth. In astronomy, the three main coordinates are right ascension, declination and distance. .. More about Star position in StellarGuide
Basic characteristic Mass: 70 % M Sun | 733.3 M JupiterThe mass of the star HD 120036 A is unknown. Based on its other characteristics, it is estimated to be about 70 % of the Sun's mass.
The mass of a star is the total amount of matter it contains. It is one of the most important properties of a star, as it determines almost everything about how the star lives, changes, and dies. In astronomy, star mass is usually measured in solar masses (M☉) — where 1 solar mass is equal to the mass of our Sun. More about Star mass in StellarGuide
Size: 70 % R Sun | 6.6 R JupiterRadius of the star HD 120036 A is not known. Its estimated value based on other similar stars is about 70 % solar radii.
The size of a star refers to its radius — the distance from its center to its surface. Star size is usually measured in solar radii (R☉), where 1 solar radius equals approximately 696,000 kilometers. Depending on their type and life stage, stars can be much smaller or larger than the Sun. More about Star size in StellarGuide
Temperature: 4000 K Star temperatureSurface temperature of HD 120036 A is estimated to be 4004 K, which is 69 % of the temperature on the surface of the Sun.
The temperature of a star refers to the temperature at its surface, also called the photosphere. It is measured in kelvins (K), the standard unit for temperature in astronomy. A star’s temperature tells us a lot about its physical properties and where it stands in its evolutionary stage. More about Star temperature in StellarGuide
