11 Aquarii is a sunlike star

Star

A star is a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity. At the end of its lifetime, a star can also contain a proportion of degenerate matter. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the energy on Earth...

 of 0.634 of star 11 Aquarii means that it is indeed hotter than our sun but smaller in size because of age and mass.

11 Aquarii has a possible current age of approximately 4 billion years old and will possibly live to the age of 11 billion years, longer than our sun, which will live about 10 billion years. 11 Aquarii may have a mass of approximately 95% to 99% solar masses. The radial velocity
