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.

How long will it take to travel to venus in light years and earth years?
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.
How does Venus's generate light?
Venus itself doesn't generate much visible light. There may be some electrical activity in its atmosphere that generates some light, but it's minimal. The light we see from Venus is mostly reflected light from the sun.
How long deos it take for heat and light to reach from sun to earth?
8 minutes 19 seconds
Trivia about light?
Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. It takes 8 minutes for light to travel from the sun to the earth.
How long does it take for a ray of light to travel from the nearest star to the earth and what is this star called?
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.
Which planet has shorter time in light years from earth Jupiter or venus?
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
Which planet has the shorter travel time in light years from earth Jupiter or venus?
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
Which planet has the shorter travel time in light-years from Earth Jupiter or Venus?
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
What planet receives the suns radiation sooner than the Earth?
Mercury and Venus have orbits that are closer to the Sun than Earth, so light from the Sun reaches them sooner than it reaches Earth. (The Earth is about 8 light minutes from the Sun, which means sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth after it leaves the Sun.)
How long would it take to get from earth to Venus?
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
How far is Venus from the sun in light minutes?
13, Venus is 13 light minutes from the sun
How far is each planet from earth?
Mercury: 5 7/8 light minutes Venus: 3 1/4 light minutes Mars: 4 light minutes Jupiter: 34 light minutes Saturn: 68 light minutes Uranus: 128 light minutes Neptune: 232 light minutes
Does the sunlight takes 4 minutes to reach earth?
No. Four minutes after leaving the sun, the light has progressed only to an areabetween the orbits of Mercury and Venus. The journey from sun to earth at thespeed of light is about 8minutes and 20seconds.
If Venus is 6.0 light-minutes from the sun what is Venus's distance from the sun in astronomical units?
If venus is 6.o light minutes from the sun what is Venus distance from the sun i astronomical units?
How long does it take in minutes for light to reach Venus from the Sun a distance of 1.126 108 km?
That is definitely not the correct distance between Sun and Venus. Once you get the correct distance in kilometers, divide it by the speed of light (300,000 kilometers/second), to get the time in seconds. Or you can do it this way. It takes light about 500 seconds to reach Earth from the Sun. Venus is at about 0.723 times the distance of Earth from the Sun. So it takes light about 0.723 x 500 seconds to get to Venus from the Sun. That gives the answer as 6.025 minutes. So, rounded, the answer is 6 minutes. Incidentally, the distance of Venus from the Sun is about 108.2 million kilometers.
How many light minutes is venus from the sun?

How long will it take light to get to venus?
