It depends on where Venus is in its orbit relative to Earth. At its closest, Venus is closer to Earth and the moon than it is to the sun. The distance between Venus and the sun does not change significantly, but its distance to Earth does; at times it may be directly between Earth and the sun, while at other times it may be on the other side of the sun.

The closest Moon is our Moon - the moon that orbits planet Earth. Its distance is approximately 380,000 km - it takes light a little over a second to move that distance.
