20 Ceti is a single[9] star located around 590[1] light years away in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with apparent magnitude is 4.76.[2] The Bright Star Catalogue has this star classified as M0III,[10] 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.[3] It has around 56 times the Sun's radius and is radiating 1,044 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,920 K.[7]
