20 Aquarii, abbreviated 20 Aqr, is a star in the constellation Aquarius. 20 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation. It is a dim star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.38.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 15.34 mas,[1] it is located 213 light years away but is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −23 km/s.[5] The star is predicted to come to within 110 light-years in around 1.9 million years.[2]

This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F0 V.[3] (Cowley and Fraquelli [1974] had given it a class of F0 III.)[4] It is a suspected[9] chemically peculiar Am star showing metallic lines.[10] It is 761[6] million years old with a high projected rotational velocity of 92 km/s.[7] The star has 1.52[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 9[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 7,314 K.[6]
