'''Eta Arietis''' (17 Arietis, η Ari, HD 13555) is a [[main sequence star]] in the [[constellation]] of [[Aries]], the [[ram]].<ref name=theskylive>{{cite web|url=https://theskylive.com/sky/stars/eta-arietis-star|title=Eta Arietis|publisher=theskylive.com}}</ref> It is one of the closest stars to the [[Sun]] at just 94.16&nbsp;[[light year]]s from [[Earth]]. Its name comes from the [[Bayer designation|Bayer]] method of naming stars. The [[Greek alphabet|Greek]] first letter indicates the brightness of the star comapred to others in the constellation, with higher letters indicating dimmer stars. As such Eta Arietis is one of the dimmer stars in the constellation. It can be observed with the unaided eye in the Northern hemisphere, but its faintness means that dark skies with little to no [[light pollution]] are required.

The star is thought to be quite similar to the [[Sun]], with a radius 1.91 larger and a surface temperature slightly higher at 6,500&nbsp;kelvin.<ref name=universeguide/> These combine to mean Eta Arietis emits 6 times more radiation the Sol.
