**45 Draconis** is a single[9] star located in the northern [circumpolar constellation](/source/Circumpolar_constellation) of [Draco](/source/Draco_(constellation)), around 3,200 [light years](/source/Light_year) from the Earth.[1] *45 Draconis* is the [Flamsteed designation](/source/Flamsteed_designation), while it has the [Bayer designation](/source/Bayer_designation) of **d Draconis**. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued star with an [apparent visual magnitude](/source/Apparent_visual_magnitude) of 4.78.[2] [Radial velocity](/source/Radial_velocity) measurements indicate it is moving closer to the Sun at the rate of −12.5 km/s.[4]

This star has a [stellar classification](/source/Stellar_classification) of F7Ib,[3] matching an [F-type](/source/F-type_star) [supergiant](/source/Supergiant). It is approximately 33 million years old with 8.2 times the [mass of the Sun](/source/Mass_of_the_Sun)[3] and about 102 times the [Sun's radius](/source/Sun's_radius). The star is radiating 12,700 times the [Sun's luminosity](/source/Sun's_luminosity) from its [photosphere](/source/Photosphere)[6] at an [effective temperature](/source/Effective_temperature) of 6,151 K.[5]
