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.

Which planet has the shorter travel time in light years from earth Jupiter or venus?

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.


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 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


How far is Venus from the sun in light minutes?

13, Venus is 13 light minutes from the sun


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.


How long does it take light from the sun to reach Venus?

138 seconds ± ~53 seconds. Since the orbit of Venus is on a different path than the orbit of the Earth, the time that it takes for the light to become visible on Earth from Venus actually varies, but not by too much. 2 minutes and 18 seconds is only at one point in the year, but the distance from Earth to Venus varies so one can also conclude that the time it takes light to reach Earth from Venus varies directly with the time as well. So, the time it takes for the sun is 138 seconds ± ~53 seconds depending on where the planets are in their orbit.


How many light minutes is venus from the sun?

6.015 light minutes away from the sun


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 long will it take light to get to venus?

6.01 light minutes
