About 162 million miles
number the planets farthest to closest to earth
Neptune is the remotest of the eight planets, and its distance is 30 astronomical units, which means its distance from the Sun is 30 times the Earth's distance from the Sun.
The aphelion of Venus is 108,942,109 kilometers.
The distance to the farthest visible star from Earth is about 9,000 light-years.
The closest distance between Venus and Earth is 38 million kilometers (23.7 million miles). But if in the opposite side of the Solar System, the Earth's twin sister can be 261 million kilometers (162 million miles) at its farthest distance.
When Venus is farthest from the Sun and Earth is at its closest, the distance between Venus and Earth can be as low as 39.5 million kilometers (23.6 million miles). The average distance between the planets' orbital distances is 41.4 million kilometers or about 25.7 million miles.Because the planets orbit at different speeds, the distance at any given time will be much larger, up to a maximum of about 261 million kilometers.
In distance, Venus has a smaller distance to travel than The Earth
The closest possible opposition distance between Earth and Venus is 38 million kilometers. This is the closest that any planet comes to Earth. The farthest that Venus ever gets from Earth is 261 million km.
The planets closest to the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars in that order. The planets farthest from the Sun are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Each planet's distance from the Sun varies due to their elliptical orbits.
Both Venus and Earth are in orbit around the sun, with different periods. Venus' distance from the sun is 72.8% of Earth's average distance. The nearest that the two planets can approach each other is when both are on the same line from the sun and on the same side. Then they're 0.272 AU or about 25.3 million miles apart. The farthest apart that the two planets can be is when they're exactly opposite each other with the sun in the middle. Then they're 1.728 AU or about 160.7 million miles apart. The distance between Earth and Venus is always somewhere between these extremes.
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are ordered from closest to the Sun to farthest as follows: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Mercury is the closest, followed by Venus, which is often called Earth's "sister planet." Earth is next, and Mars is the farthest of the inner planets.
Venus has an average distance from the Sun that is about 108% of Earth's distance. This makes Venus the planet closest to having a distance from the Sun that is 150% of Earth's distance.
