The distance between Earth and Venus varies as both take a different amount of time to orbit the Sun. Even at its furthest distance from us, it would be less than 2 light seconds away. At its closest it would be about one seventh of a light second from us.

Light always travels at 299 792 485 metres per second in a vacuum.

The closest venus comes to earth is 38 000 000 000 metres.

The furthest venus gets from earth is 261 000 000 000 metres.

So light will take at the quickest 126.8 seconds, and at the longest 870.6 seconds.

Speed of light doesn't travel. Light travels.The speed of light doesn't vary depending on the planet; it may, however, vary depending what it goes through. For example, the speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 km/second; the speed of light in glass is about 2/3 of that value.

Why does the light from the sun take so long to reach earth when the light is traveling so fast?

light takes approximately 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. even though it is traveling extremely fast, the earth is about 93million miles away from the sun, so if you think about it 8 minutes is pretty quick
