How long will it take to travel to venus in light years and earth years?

Please note that a "light-year" is a unit of distance; NOT a unit of time, the way the question is posed, it indicates that possibly there is some confusion. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. The distance to Venus is MUCH less than a light-year; it takes light only a few minutes to get there. Depending on which side of the Sun it is, the distance (and the time required for a ray of light) can vary.
As to the time, that really depends on the speed. A ray of light, as mentioned above, takes but a few minutes. A rocket, using currently available technology, would probably take several months to get there.

∙ 13y agoShould I include the time required to build a rocket ship to travel to Venus? If so, about 150 years. Right now, there is NO WAY AT ALL to travel to Venus, and there won't be any time soon.
We can't even get back to the Moon, not even with another "Apollo"-style national emergency project. It took 8 years from the time President Kennedy pledged to go to the Moon by 1970, and we couldn't get back to the Moon in at least 10 years now.
Once we build the spacecraft, then a conventionally-powered rocket might reach Venus orbit in about 18 months.

How many light years does it take to reach Venus from Earth not in light minutes I need light years please?
You are confused. "Light-year" is a measurement of DISTANCE, the distance that light travels in one year; it is not a time period. Venus is, depending on where Venus and Earth are in our respective orbits, between 2 and 14 light-minutes away; light would take somewhere between 2 and 14 minutes to span the distance. You can convert easily minutes into years; there are 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.26 days in a year.
How far in Light years can a Pulsar travel?
As far as light can travel
How long does it take for a ray of light to travel from the nearest star to the earth and what is this star called?
Our Sun is at a distance of 8 light-minutes. The next star outside our Solar System is Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.2 light-years.
How long does it take a star's light that is 7 light years away from Earth to reach Earth?
It's exactly 7 light years away.One light year is the distance that light travels through space in one year.7 of those is a distance of something like 41,150,289,900,000 miles.
How far away from Earth is Sirious the star?

Which planet has the shorter travel time in light years from earth Jupiter or venus?
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
Which planet has the shorter travel time in light-years from Earth Jupiter or Venus?
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
What is the light year of Venus's?
A light year is a distance, or the total distance a ray of light can travel in 1 year (light travels at 300,000,000m per second) to be accurate. When Venus is closest to earth, it is about 38 million kilometres away (0.000004017 light years). When Venus is furthest from earth, it is about 261 million kilometres away (0.000027588 light years).
Which planet has shorter time in light years from earth Jupiter or venus?
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
How long would it take to get from earth to Venus?
I might be wrong but light year is how far light can travel in one whole year. Venus is not that far away. Just for comparison it takes the suns light 8 minute to get to Earth so light is very fast. So yeh, i dont think Venus is a light uear awayVenus is, depending on it place relative to the Earth in their orbits around the Sun, from 3 to 20 light minutes away or 0.0000057 ly to 0.000038 ly
How many light years does it take to get from earth to venus?
Depending on the orbits of Venus and the Earth around the Sun, the distances between Venus and Earth vary. It as been as close as 38.2 million km, but average distance of 41 million km. 41 million km is approximately 0.000004333703419500923 Light Years
Is Venus also called Polaris?
No, Venus is a planet in orbit around the sun as is Earth. Polaris is a star and thousands of light years away.
How much time does it take 2 billion light years light to travel to Earth?
2 billion years.
How many light years does it take to travel two and half earth years?
Light years are a measure of distance, earth years are a measure of time. The two can't be compared like this.
How long does it take for light to travel from alpha cenauri to earth?
4.25 years, because it is 4.25 light years away.
How long would it take to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran?
It would take 65 years 11 months to travel to Aldebaran from Earth traversing at the speed of light.
How do you convert 3 earth years into light years?
you cant light years refer to the distance light can travel in 1 year 1 Light Year = 5878625373183.61 Miles
