17 Νοε 2012 · Learn about the distance to Venus from Earth and the sun, and how it varies depending on the orbits of both planets. Find out how long it takes to travel to Venus and why it is the brightest planet in the sky.
Venus orbits the Sun from an average distance of 67 million miles (108 million kilometers), or 0.72 astronomical units. From Earth, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky after our own Moon.
The table below shows the eight planets and the average distance between them. The AU column is the distance in astronomical units. 1 AU is the distance from the Sun to Earth, which is 149,600,000 km .
Venus orbits the Sun from an average distance of 67 million miles (108 million kilometers), or 0.72 astronomical units. From Earth, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky after our own Moon. Learn more about Venus's size, rotation, and potential for life.
It takes 224.7 Earth days for Venus to complete an orbit around the Sun, and a Venusian solar year is just under two Venusian days long. The orbits of Venus and Earth are the closest between any two Solar System planets, approaching each other in synodic periods of 1.6 years.
At its average distance of 42.2 million miles, light takes 3 minutes 46 seconds to reach Earth from Venus. As the planets orbit the sun that time varies between 2 minutes 13 seconds and 14 minutes 29 seconds.
As of November 18 2024, Venus is 98,883,358 miles (159,103,324 kilometers) away from Earth, which is about 1.06354003161313 AU. Where does this distance data come from? I source Venus’s distance from Earth via the Horizon JPL API.
