65 Andromedae, abbreviated 65 And, is a single,[10] orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent magnitude is 4.73,[2] it is visible to the naked eye. The distance to 65 And can be derived from its annual parallax shift of 7.5 mas,[1] which yields a range of around 440 light years. At that distance, its brightness is diminished by an extinction of 0.16 magnitude due to interstellar dust.[11] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −5 km/s.[5]

This is a mildly iron-deficient[12] giant star with a stellar classification of K4.5 III,[3] which indicates that, at the age of three billion years,[7] is an evolved star that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core and expanded its radius. The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is 3.28±0.06 mas.[13] At the estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of about 47 times the radius of the Sun.[8] The star has 1.6[7] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 372[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,927 K.[7]
