71 Cancri is a star in the constellation Cancer. Its spectral classification A2 indicates that it is an A-type star but the luminosity class is not specified. Parallax measurements imply a distance of 271 parsecs (880 ly), and it is drifting further away at a speed of 28 km/s. Being apparent magnitude 8.1, it is not visible to the naked eye.
This A-type star is estimated to be 750 million years old (16% Solar System age). It has a mass roughly 2.2 times the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius three times that of the Sun. 71 Cancri is 33 times more luminous and 40% hotter, with a surface effective temperature of 8,051 K. Its apparent brightness is diminished by 0.02 magnitudes due to interveining gas and dust between Earth and the star.
