WASP-94 B is a star 681 light-years away with a spectral type of F9. It is 4 billion years old, has a mass of 1.24 solar masses, a radius of 1.35 solar radii, and a temperature of 6040 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all larger or hotter than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, WASP-94 B b, was discovered in 2014 using the radial velocity method, which detects the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. The planet has a minimum mass of 196 Earth masses, meaning its true mass is at least this value, and it is more massive than Earth on that lower bound. It completes an orbit every 2.01 days.
