With a mass the same as the Sun's and an age of five billion years, Kepler-182 has exhausted its core hydrogen and expanded away from the main sequence. It is now a subgiant contracting towards the red giant branch. It has a radius of 1.4 R and an effective temperature of 5,883 K, giving a bolometric luminosity of 2.2 L.[3]

Two exoplanets orbit it. The first, Kepler-182b, has a radius of 0.23 RJ and orbits the parent star every 9.8 days. The second, Kepler-182c, has a radius of 0.306 RJ and orbits the parent star every 20.7 days.[5]
