Please note that a "light-year" is a unit of distance; NOT a unit of time, the way the question is posed, it indicates that possibly there is some confusion. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year. The distance to Venus is MUCH less than a light-year; it takes light only a few minutes to get there. Depending on which side of the Sun it is, the distance (and the time required for a ray of light) can vary.
As to the time, that really depends on the speed. A ray of light, as mentioned above, takes but a few minutes. A rocket, using currently available technology, would probably take several months to get there.
You are confused. "Light-year" is a measurement of DISTANCE, the distance that light travels in one year; it is not a time period. Venus is, depending on where Venus and Earth are in our respective orbits, between 2 and 14 light-minutes away; light would take somewhere between 2 and 14 minutes to span the distance. You can convert easily minutes into years; there are 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.26 days in a year.
As far as light can travel
Our Sun is at a distance of 8 light-minutes. The next star outside our Solar System is Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.2 light-years.
It's exactly 7 light years away.One light year is the distance that light travels through space in one year.7 of those is a distance of something like 41,150,289,900,000 miles.

Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
Venus has a shorter travel time in light years from Earth compared to Jupiter. The distance between Earth and Venus can range from about 0.28 to 0.69 light minutes, while the distance to Jupiter ranges from about 32 to 53 light minutes.
A light year is a distance, or the total distance a ray of light can travel in 1 year (light travels at 300,000,000m per second) to be accurate. When Venus is closest to earth, it is about 38 million kilometres away (0.000004017 light years). When Venus is furthest from earth, it is about 261 million kilometres away (0.000027588 light years).
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
I might be wrong but light year is how far light can travel in one whole year. Venus is not that far away. Just for comparison it takes the suns light 8 minute to get to Earth so light is very fast. So yeh, i dont think Venus is a light uear awayVenus is, depending on it place relative to the Earth in their orbits around the Sun, from 3 to 20 light minutes away or 0.0000057 ly to 0.000038 ly
It would take approximately 65 years to travel at the speed of light from Earth to Aldebaran, which is about 65 light-years away. However, currently, we do not have the technology to travel at the speed of light.
Depending on the orbits of Venus and the Earth around the Sun, the distances between Venus and Earth vary. It as been as close as 38.2 million km, but average distance of 41 million km. 41 million km is approximately 0.000004333703419500923 Light Years
It would take 100 Earth years for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth.
No, Venus is a planet in orbit around the sun as is Earth. Polaris is a star and thousands of light years away.
2 billion years.
One light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 5.88 trillion miles. Therefore, to travel a distance equivalent to 2.5 Earth years, you would need to travel about 2.5 light years, which is roughly 14.7 trillion miles.
It would take 100 years for a signal to travel from Earth to a star located 100 light years away.
