The average distance between Earth and Venus is 67 million miles (108 million km), so based on that distance, I have calculated the time it would take to reach the Earth’s sister planet at the speed of different means of transportation.
Venus is the closest planet to Earth. It is about 25 million miles (40 million kilometers) away from Earth. Its precise distance depends on where both Venus and Earth are in their respective orbits.
Oct 8, 2019 · The Astronomical units (AU) column is the average distance between Earth and the Sun and is the most common way for scientists to measure distance in our Solar System. Below is a table of the distances between each of the planets in our solar system.

One astronomical unit (abbreviated as AU), is the distance from the Sun to Earth. From this distance, it takes sunlight about six minutes to travel from the Sun to Venus.
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.
