20 Ceti is a single[11] star located around 590[2] light years away in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with apparent magnitude is 4.76.[3] The Bright Star Catalogue has this star classified as M0III,[12] matching an aging red giant star that has consumed the hydrogen at its core and expanded. Houk and Swift (1999) listed an earlier class of K5 III.[4] It has around 66 times the Sun's radius and is radiating about 750 times the Sun's luminosity[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,065 K.[8]
