7 Trianguli is a solitary[11] star located in the northern constellation Triangulum. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.25,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is situated at distance of 360 light years[1] but is approaching with a heliocentric radial velocity of −1.3 km/s,[6] which is poorly constrained.

7 Trianguli has a stellar classification of A0 V[3] or B9.5 V,[4] depending on the study. At present it has 2.77 times the mass of the Sun[8] and 3.24 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It shines at 89.1 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,685 K,[8] giving it a blueish white glow. 7 Trianguli is a young star, with an age of 283 million years[8] and spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 130 km/s.[10] It has been classified as having a peculiar spectrum,[12] but it is considered doubtful that it is actually a chemically peculiar star.[13]

Together with δ Trianguli and γ Trianguli, it forms an optical (line-of-sight) triple.
