94 Piscium is a single[9] star in the zodiac constellation Pisces,[8] located 305 light years away from the Sun.[1] It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.495.[2] The object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −43 km/s.[5] It is a possible member of the Wolf 630 moving group.[10]
This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III.[3] It is a red clump giant, which indicates it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[11] The star is 4.1 billion years old with 1.34[6] times the mass of the Sun and 13 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 69[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,665 K.[7]
