64 Arietis is a possible binary star[2] system in the northern constellation of Aries. 64 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.67.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 15.2 mas,[1] this star is approximately 214 light-years (66 parsecs) distant from the Sun. It is receding from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +8.5 km/s.[5]

The visible component is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III,[2] currently on the red giant branch.[3] It is around 5.2 billion years old with 1.27 times the mass of the Sun.[3] With the supply of hydrogen at its core exhausted, the star has expanded to 11 times the radius of the Sun and it shines with 42 times the Sun's luminosity.[5] This energy is being radiated from the outer envelope at an effective temperature of 4,426 K,[5] giving it the orange-hued glow of a K-type star.
