38 Arietis (abbreviated 38 Ari) is a variable star in the northern constellation of Aries. 38 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. It was once designated 88 Ceti,[12] forming part of the neighboring constellation of Cetus. With an apparent visual magnitude of +5.18,[3] it is bright enough to be viewed with the naked eye. The measured annual parallax shift of 27.52 mas[2] is equivalent to a distance of approximately 119 light-years (36 parsecs) from Earth.

The spectrum of this star matches a stellar classification of A7 III-IV,[4] with the luminosity class of III-IV indicating it shows traits part way between the subgiant and giant star stages of its evolution. It is a Delta Scuti variable with a period of 0.0355 days (51 minutes) and a magnitude change of 0.040.[5] This star is larger than the Sun, with more than double the Sun's radius and 11 times the luminosity.[7] This energy is being radiated into outer space from the atmosphere at an effective temperature of 7,638 K,[7] giving it the white-hued glow of an A-type star.
