Both Venus and Earth are in orbit around the sun, with different periods.

Venus' distance from the sun is 72.8% of Earth's average distance.

The nearest that the two planets can approach each other is when both are

on the same line from the sun and on the same side. Then they're 0.272 AU or

about 25.3 million miles apart.

The farthest apart that the two planets can be is when they're exactly

opposite each other with the sun in the middle. Then they're 1.728 AU or

about 160.7 million miles apart.

The distance between Earth and Venus is always somewhere between these extremes.
