How long does it take for the sun's energy to get to venus?

Answer 1

A lot. It is close to the sun. (Of the planets, only Mercury is closer.) Plus, it is covered with clouds which are mostly carbon dioxide, so it has a big "green house" effect goin' on. It's blazing hot on Venus. All the time. Everywhere. Like over 460 degrees C. (Lead melts at a little under 330 degrees C, so any lead is in puddles.) A link is provided. Surf on over to our friends at Wikipedia (where a few of these facts were picked up) and check out the pics and gather up a few more factoids.

Answer 2

Venus absorbs more radiation from the sun then the earth and some of the other planets in the solar system. It absorbs approximately 7 million units of radiation.

Answer 3

The suns radiation energy travels at the speed of light. For Venus, this would take just over 6 minutes to travel the 108,208,930km journey at 300,000km per second.

Answer 4

Venus' average orbital distance from the sun is listed as 67.2 million miles.

At the speed of light, that's 361 seconds(6minutes 1second, rounded).

Answer 5

It takes about 6 minutes and 7 seconds for the Sun's energy to reach Venus, which is an average distance of about 67.24 million miles (108.22 million kilometers) from the Sun.

Answer 6

6 minutes
