69 Virginis is a single[10] star in the zodiac constellation of Virgo, located about 259 light years away. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.76,[2] although it is a suspected variable that may range in magnitude from 4.75 down to 4.79.[11] This object is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −13 km/s.[5] The light from this star is polarized due to intervening interstellar dust.[12]

This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III-IIIb CN1.5 CH0.5,[3] showing overabundances of CN and CH molecules in the spectrum. It is a red clump giant, which indicates is on the horizontal branch generating energy via helium fusion at its core.[13] The star is about 288 million years old with 3.5[6] times the mass of the Sun and 15[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 87[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,909 K.[6]
