Kappa Lyrae (κ Lyr) is a solitary 4th magnitude star approximately 238 light years away from Earth, in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is a giant star of the spectral type K2III[3] with an effective temperature of 4,638[7] kelvins. It is cooler, yet larger and brighter, than our Sun. It is also a suspected small amplitude variable star.[9]
