This object has a stellar classification of F5 III,[3] matching an aging giant star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded off the main sequence. At present it has 8.5[6] times the radius of the Sun. The star is 530[5] million years old with 2.48[5] times the Sun's mass. It shows a high rotation rate considering its evolutionary status, with a projected rotational velocity of 140 km/s.[4] The star has been noted as a possible variable shell star.[10] Pi2 Pegasi is radiating 103 times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,300 K.[6]
