This object has a stellar classification of F5 III, 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 times the radius of the Sun. The star is 530 million years old with 2.48 times the Sun's mass. It shows a high rotation rate considering its evolutionary status, with a projected rotational velocity of 140 km/s. The star has been noted as a possible variable shell star. Pi2 Pegasi is radiating 103 times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,300 K.
