Rho2 Cancri (ρ2 Cancri) is a solitary,[4] yellow-hued star in the constellation Cancer. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.22,[2] it is visible to the naked eye on a dark night. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.70 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this star is located around 490 light-years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.06 due to interstellar dust.[6]

At the age of about 234[6] million years, is an evolved, G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8 III.[3] It has an estimated 3.6[6] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 24[3] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 310[3] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,994 K.[7]
