45 Cancri is a binary star[4] system in the zodiac constellation of Cancer, located 680 light-years away from the Sun.[1] It has the Bayer designation A1 Cancri;[8] 45 Cancri is the Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star at an apparent visual magnitude of 5.62.[2] The pair form a double-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of Script error: No such module "convert". and an eccentricity of 0.46.[4] They are drifting closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −6 km/s.[2]

The primary, designated component A, is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8 III,[9] but has most likely not yet made multiple ascents up the red giant branch.[3] It has 3.11[3] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 14[1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 210[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of Script error: No such module "val"..[5] The less evolved secondary, component B is likewise a giant star, having a class of A3 III. It has three times the mass of the Sun and shines with 191 times the Sun's luminosity.[3]
