89 Leonis is a single[7] star in the equatorial constellation of Leo, the lion. It has a yellow-white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.70.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 88 light years from the Sun. The star has a high proper motion[8] and is moving further away with a radial velocity of +4.8 km/s.[5] It is a candidate member of the TW Hydrae stellar kinematic group.[8]

This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5.5V.[3] It is an estimated 1.13[2] billion years old and is spinning with a rotation period of 7.73 days.[9] It shows evidence of a short-term activity cycle lasting 222.5±3.3 days.[9] The star has 1.3[2] times the mass of the Sun and 1.4[1] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating three[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,461 K.[1]
