WASP-80 is a K-type main-sequence star about 162 light-years away from Earth. The star's age is much younger than the Sun's at 1.352 billion years. WASP-80 could be similar to the Sun in concentration of heavy elements, although this measurement is highly uncertain.

The star was named Petra in 2019 by Jordanian amateur astronomers as part of the NameExoWorlds contest.
