Theta Virginis (θ Vir, θ Virginis) is amultiple star system in thezodiac constellation ofVirgo. Based uponparallax measurements, it is about 320 light years from the Sun. The three[10] stars in this system have a combinedapparent visual magnitude of 4.37,[2] bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

The primary component, Theta Virginis Aa, is a white-huedA-type main sequence star with astellar classification of A1Vs.[4] It is part of aspectroscopic binary[11] which components, Aa and Ab, have visual magnitudes of +4.49 and +6.83 respectively. The system has anorbital period of about 33.04 years with aneccentricity of 0.9.[3] The brighter member of this pair showsphotometric andradial velocity periodicities with a cycle time of 0.7 days, which may indicate its rotation period.[12]

The inner pair is orbited by the 9.4 magnitude B component, at anangular separation of 7.1 arcseconds. A fourth component C, 69.6 arcseconds away, has an apparent magnitude of 10.4.[3] However, component C is an optical companion: it is physically unrelated and only appears close in the sky.[10]

On 11 November 2028 and again 11 November 2036, it will have close conjunctions withVenus.[13]: 167
