53 Virginis is a single,[10] yellow-white hued star in the zodiac constellation of Virgo. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 29.49±0.29 mas,[1] it is located 111 light years away. The star is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −12.7 km/s.[4] It has a relatively high rate of proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 284±18 mas/yr along a position angle of 162.2°.[11]

Gray et al. (2006) assigned this star a stellar classification of F5.5 V,[3] matching an ordinary F-type main-sequence star. Older studies, such as Malaroda (1975)[12] or Eggen (1955),[13] listed a class of F5 III-IV or F6 III-IV, suggesting a more evolved condition. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 13.5[5] km/s and appears to be undergoing differential rotation.[10] The star is nearly three[6] billion years old, with 1.21[6] times the mass of the Sun and about three times the Sun's radius.[7] It is radiating over nine[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of around 6,346 K.[6]

The star has three visual companions, the nearest being a magnitude 12.5 star located at an angular separation of 104.10″ along a position angle of 1°, as of 2000.[14]
