46 Cancri is a star in the zodiac constellation of Cancer, located around 680 light years away from the Sun. It is a dim, yellow-hued star, near the lower limits of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.12.[2] The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of –13.1 km/s.[2] It has a stellar classification of G5 III,[3] matching an aging giant star that has consumed the hydrogen at its core and evolved away from the main sequence.
46 Cancri is 740 million years old with 2.65[2] times the mass of the Sun. It has expanded to about 11[5] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 125.9[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,966 K.[2]
