Star size
Radius of the star Gaia EDR3 4068962066817869440 is not known. Its estimated value based on other similar stars is about 10 % solar radii.

The size of a star refers to its radius — the distance from its center to its surface. Star size is usually measured in solar radii (R☉), where 1 solar radius equals approximately 696,000 kilometers. Depending on their type and life stage, stars can be much smaller or larger than the Sun... icon More about Star size in StellarGuide

Star temperature
Surface temperature of Gaia EDR3 4068962066817869440 is estimated to be 2000 K, which is 35 % of the temperature on the surface of the Sun.

The temperature of a star refers to the temperature at its surface, also called the photosphere. It is measured in kelvins (K), the standard unit for temperature in astronomy. A star’s temperature tells us a lot about its physical properties and where it stands in its evolutionary stage... icon More about Star temperature in StellarGuide

A distant planet is shedding helium ahead of its transit, while another world hides a cloudy nightside beneath a clearer dayside. New observations also reveal stellar vibrations in infrared light, trace a massive star’s journey beyond its red-supergiant phase, and expose the magnetic activity of a young planetary system.
