the moon is between the sun and earth and venus is at west
The phases of Venus occur as a result of the planet's position relative to Earth and the Sun. As Venus orbits the Sun inside Earth's orbit, it exhibits phases similar to the Moon. The phases range from crescent to full Venus and back again as viewed from Earth.
Our moon's the closest, followed by Venus.
The moonMoon is the closet celestial body.
Venus is 12104 km in diameter and the moon is 1737 km in diameter, so in other words Venus is much larger then the moon about 12x
Venus and Mars
Earth has one moon. Venus has no moon.
No, there are no moon near Venus. No moons orbit Venus. The nearest moon to Venus is Earth's moon. :)

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.
No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.
There are no moons around Venus or Mercury. So the closest moon to Venus is the Moon orbiting the Earth, which is not really any closer than Earth is. (Venus is always at least 100 times farther away from Earth than the distance of the Moon.)

Earth is the closest planet to the moon and Venus follows as the second closest planet to the moon
That means that the Moon covers Venus in such a way that it temporarily can't be seen from Earth.
