How far is Venus from Earth by spaceship?

Answer 1

It depends how fast the spaceship goes. If it went like as fast as a car it would take 4 months.

EDIT: The distance from Earth to Venus can varies frequently due to Earth's increased length of orbit around the sun. The closest it can be to Earth is ~38 Million Kilometres, and the furthest it could be is ~261 Million Kilometres. This means that if it were possible to say, drive to Venus in your space-car at 80 km per hour, it would take you anywhere between 19,791 days (54.22 non-leap Years), and 135,937.5 days (372.43 non-leap Years).

Of course, a space ship travels much faster than a car. The fasted manned spacecraft was the Apollo 10, which reached speeds of about 40,000 kilometres per hour. So if you were travelling at that speed constantly from start to stop, it'd take between 40 and 272 days.

Once again this isn't actually correct. A spaceship would not maintain such a speed throughout the whole flight; the record speed Apollo 10 set was on the return flight from the moon, presumably during re-entry. It was set by the Command/Service Module (not the part that would have landed on the actual moon, the bit that stayed in space). Apollo 10 didn't even land on the moon; the module specifically built for that was intentionally underfueled.

In conclusion; were a spaceship able to maintain a flight speed equal to that of the fastest manned vehicle travel, and not factoring in any problems, emergencies, time spent in orbit or on the actual face of Venus, and not including the fact that Venus' atmospheric pressure is 92 times greater than that of Earth's, making attempts to land safely much more difficult (although safety was never mentioned), it would take between 40 and 272 days.

Answer 2

The difference in orbital distance from the Sun is 26 million miles, whether by spaceship or by any other form of transportation.

Under ideal conditions, the actual trip would take closer to 60 million miles on an intercept plotted path (hitting a moving target). It would require an interplanetary speed of around 26,000 miles per hour, and take approximately 100 days.
