82 Cancri (Pi2 Cancri, π2 Cancri) is a solitary,[3] orange-hued star in the zodiac constellation of Cancer. This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III.[3] With an apparent visual magnitude of +5.33,[2] it is visible to the naked eye on a dark night. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.37 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this star is located roughly 610 light years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.10 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[8]
