77 Aquarii is a single[9] star located 135 light years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. 77 Aquarii is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 5.55.[2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −35 km/s.[1]

At the estimated age of 7.61[6] billion years old, this is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III.[3] It is a suspected variable star that ranges in brightness from a maximum of magnitude 5.53 down to 5.60.[4] 77 Aquarii has 1.14[6] times the mass of the Sun and, after exhausting the hydrogen at its core, has expanded to six times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 13.3[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,581 K,[7] giving it the orange-hued glow of a K-type star.[10]
