Star mass
Mass of the star HD 112485 is 11.75 solar masses.

The mass of a star is the total amount of matter it contains. It is one of the most important properties of a star, as it determines almost everything about how the star lives, changes, and dies. In astronomy, star mass is usually measured in solar masses (M☉) — where 1 solar mass is equal to the mass of our Sun... icon More about Star mass in StellarGuide

Star size
Radius of the star HD 112485 is 5.191 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 HD 112485 is 26425 K, which is 457 % 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

Star age
Star HD 112485 is 7762471 billion years old, which is about 1687493.7 of the Sun's age.

The age of a star tells us how long it has been shining since it formed. Knowing a star’s age helps astronomers understand its life stage, how it has changed over time, and what will happen to it in the future... icon More about Star age in StellarGuide
luminosity icon
Luminosity: 12022.64 L Sun

Star luminosity
Luminosity is the total amount of energy a star gives off every second. Think of it as the star’s true brightness — not just how bright it looks from Earth. This is important because some stars may appear dim simply because they are far away, not because they’re actually faint... icon More about Star luminosity in StellarGuide

Class of stars Blue Giant
The nearest black holes are collapsed massive stars scattered across our Galaxy. The closest known is Gaia BH1, located 1,560 light-years away. If our Solar System were scaled down to the size of a coin, this black hole would still be hundreds of kilometers away. Black holes do not act as cosmic vacuum cleaners; if our Sun were replaced by a black hole of equal mass, the planets would continue orbiting in exactly the same paths, though without light or heat. A black hole's gravity is extreme only very close to its event horizon. Thus, despite millions of stellar black holes residing in the Milky Way, the nearest ones pose no danger to Earth.
