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 away

Venus 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

Venus is much less than a light-year away. Venus varies in its distance from Earth between about 26 million and 160 million miles, as they orbit the sun separately. This works out to a range of 0.000004 to 0.000027 light years. Within the solar system it would be better to measure distances in light minutes than light years.

Venus is another planet in our solar system. Venus at its closest is about 2 light-minutes from Earth, and when it is on the opposite side of the Sun, is about 14 light-minutes away.

For space probes launched from Earth to Venus using our existing rockets, it takes about 15 months to reach Venus.

The travel time from Earth to Venus can vary depending on the alignment of the two planets. On average, it would take a spacecraft traveling at its closest point about 3 to 4 months to reach Venus.
