21 Aquarii is a single[6] star in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. 21 Aquarii is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.49.[2] This object is a member of the HR 1614 moving group,[7] and is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −24.5 km/s.[4]

This object is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K4 III.[3] As a result of having exhausted the hydrogen at its core, it has expanded to 27[1] times the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating 203[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,120 K.[1]
