Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.53 mas, it is located 382 light years away.

It is radiating 110 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,967 K.[6] 63 Andromedae varies in brightness by about 0.05 magnitudes with a period of 4.189 days.

[2] To the naked eye the star figures as a faint, dense asterism with 64 and 65 Andromedae (southwest and west), which together justify a rectangular projection (extreme) of the constellation (official boundaries).

[9] North, west and east are an arm/hand, fictitiously and geometrically, of Perseus, whose character is related in traditional mythology as Andromeda's saviour, saving her from the sea monster, who forever retreats to beyond Pisces, Cetus.

The closest star in the asterisms commonly drawn up to represent the princess herself is 51 Andromedae, to the east.
