Rho Draconis (ρ Draconis) is a solitary[10] star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.52.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.61 mas as measured from Earth,[1] it is located around 429 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.027 due to interstellar dust.[5]

With a stellar classification of K3 III,[3] Rho Draconis is a normal giant star that is past the first dredge-up phase of its post-main sequence evolution.[7] It has the peculiar spectrum of a CN star, showing abnormal line strengths for cyanogen and calcium.[11] The star has expanded to around 28[3] times the Sun's radius and it is radiating 402[6] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,370 K.[7]
