Theta Draconis

Theta Draconis (θ Dra / θ Draconis) is a fourth-magnitude star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco. Parallax measurements place it at an estimated distance of 68.6 light-years (21.0 parsecs) from Earth.

This star is 21% more massive than the Sun and has a radius 2.5 times the Sun's. It is radiating 8.7 times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 6,290 K. This temperature is what gives it the yellow-white hue of an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F9 V.
