The distance between Venus and Earth varies depending on where the two planets are in their orbits. At their closest, the gap between them is 38 million kilometers, and at their furthest, 261 million kilometers.
It varies by the orbital position of the two planets. The average is about 26 million miles and the closest is about 24 million miles.
Earth's orbit averages 149 million kilometers (93 million miles) from the Sun.
Venus has an orbit of about 108 million kilometers (67 million miles) from the Sun.
The closest approach of about 39.5 million kilometers (23.6 million miles) would be with Venus at its farthest from the Sun and Earth at its closest. This is a rare occurrence.
When Venus lies between the Earth and the Sun, a position known as "inferior conjunction", it makes the closest approach to Earth of any planet, lying at a distance of 41 million km during inferior conjunction.
At 'superior conjunction' (when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun and not visible to us) she is about 264 million kilometers from the Earth.

∙ 6y agoThat distance varies, depending on where each planet is in its orbit. Look up the distances of Earth and Venus, from the Sun. Take the average distance, for simplicity.* The SUM of those distances is the maximum distance between Earth and Venus.
* The DIFFERENCE of those distances is the minimum distance between Earth and Venus.

∙ 6y agoThe distance between Venus and Earth will depend on whether they are on the same or opposite side of the sun. It will vary from 40 million to 260 million km.

distance between the earth and the sun.
How far is the planet Venus's from the moon?
On average Venus is approximately 67.2 million miles or 108.2 million kilometers away from the Sun. In other units, it would be 0.723 AU.Mean distance of 108,209,000 km Maximum Distance 108,942,000 kmMinimum Distance 107,476,000 km
Which is closer to the sun mercury or Venus?
For most of Venus's nearly circular orbit, Mercury is closer to it than Earth. But when Venus and Earth are on the same side of the Sun, Earth can be closer. And the distances between the planets are constantly changing. There are times when Mercury and Earth are closer than either is to Venus. * (see the related link below) The average distance of each of these planets from the Sun: - Mercury: 57,909,000 km - Venus: 108,200,000 km - Earth: 149,600,000 km So, when they do happen to line up on the same side of the Sun, the distance between Mercury and Venus will average about 50.3 million kilometers, and the distance between Venus and the Earth will average 41.4 million kilometers. But this is only the case for less than 35% of the Venusian year. The distance between Mercury and Venus can vary from just 37.7 million to as much as 178.7 million kilometers. The distance between Earth and Venus can vary from 39.2 million to as much as 256 million kilometers.
What planet is Venus next to?
Mercury is in front of Venus (to the sun) and Earth is right behind.Mercury is formaly next to Venus!! :)
What Venus's minimum distance to earth?
Using average distances from the Sun the minimum distance is 1.0 - 0.7233 astronomical units, 0.2767 AU or 41.39 million km.But using the eccentricity of the orbits as well, the Earth's distance is 1.0±0.01672 AU, while Venus's distance is 0.7233x(1±0.00679) AU.Therefore the Earth's minimum distance is 0.9833 AU and Venus's maximum distance is 0.7282 AU. The difference is 0.2551 AU so the minimum distance from the Earth to Venus is 38.16 million km.

distance between the earth and the sun.
What is the distance between the moon and Venus?
Virtually the same as the distance between Earth and Venus, which varies greatly according to where each is in its orbit. At its closest to Earth, Venus is still more than 100 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
How far is the planet Venus's from the moon?
On average Venus is approximately 67.2 million miles or 108.2 million kilometers away from the Sun. In other units, it would be 0.723 AU.Mean distance of 108,209,000 km Maximum Distance 108,942,000 kmMinimum Distance 107,476,000 km
How far from earth to Venus?
The distance between venus & earth is 48 million kilometers. (Note that the distance given between both the planets has been considered with reference to the Sun.That's suppose when all three are on a line.)
Is venus orbit smaller than that of earth?
In distance, Venus has a smaller distance to travel than The Earth
How far the Venus from the Earth?
Venus can be fairly close to Earth, or it can be on the other side of the Sun. To get the (approximate) range of distances:* Look up the distance from Sun to Earth. * Look up the distance from Sun to Venus. * Add both to get the maximum distance; subtract them to get the minimum distance.
What is the closest distance between Venus and Earth?
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.
Is the distance between earth and venus greater than the distance between venus and mercury?
If all three planets are in a straight line, then Earth and Venus are closer (~42 milion km) than Mercury and Venus (~50 million km) but since all three planets have different orbital periods, it is possible for Earth to be on the opposite side of the Sun from Venus and Mercury, in which case they would be closer to each other than Earth was to either of them.

What is the distances between the earth and the others planets in kilometers?
Because all of the planets are orbiting the SUN, the distance between Earth and the other planets are always changing. Take Venus, for example. Right now, Venus is between the Sun and Earth, so the distance to Venus is only about 40 million miles. In about 8 months, when Venus is on the other side of the Sun from us, the distance will be more like 130 million miles. There is a free planetarium program called Stellarium that you can download and install, which will allow you to calculate the distance from Earth to any other planet or moon.
Why is the gravitational force between Venus and the sun greater then that between the earth and the sun?
The force of gravity is proportional to the mass of an object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. Venus is nearer the Sun than Earth.
What planet's distance from the sun is about 72 percent of the distance from the sun to the earth?
The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1 AU (149.597 m km / 93 m miles) whereas the distance between the Sun and Venus is at an average of 0.723 AU (108. 200 m km / 67.625 m miles). So it can be called 72% of the Sun-Earth distance.
