How much light years is Venus far from the earth?

Answer 1

In light second (ls) unit, Venus distance from the Sun is 361. Earth is at 499. The distance of Venus from Earth varies from 4.4 E-06 light years (ly), at conjunction, and 2.7 E-05 ly, at opposition..

The following data were used to approximate the distances: Venus-Sun = 1.082 E+08 km, Earth-Sun = 1.496 E+08 km, light second (the distance traveled by light in one second) = 2.998 E+05 km, and 1 y = 365.256 x 24 X 3600 s.

Venus and Earth are separated by about 0.28 to 0.69 astronomical units (AU), or roughly 0.0000044 to 0.0000109 light years.
