description Chort Overview
Chort is the traditional name for Theta Leonis, a star in the constellation Leo. Astronomical catalogues classify it as an A2V star, which identifies a hot, white A-type main-sequence star rather than a giant or supergiant. In the conventional figure of Leo, it lies in the lion's hindquarters and is visible without a telescope under suitable observing conditions, making it a named naked-eye star for observers learning the constellation.
