What is the distance (in miles) between Earth and Venus?

Answer 1

Well, the orbits of the planets can put them very close or very far apart.
Using some simple math, the farthest apart they can be is:
Aphelion of Earth-Perihelion of Venus=
152,097,701 km-107,476,002 km=
44,621,699 km
The closest they can be is:
Perihelion of Earth-Aphelion of Venus=
147,098,074 km-108,941,849 km=
38,156,225 km

Answer 2

Telling the actual distance between Earth and Venus at any given moment would involve a complex calculation, as the distance of course varies constantly when the planets move on their orbits.

However, the distance between the orbits of Earth and Venus is about 25 700 000 miles. This means that on average, Venus is that much closer to the Sun than Earth, and also it is about the minimum possible distance between the two planets.

Answer 3

The distance between venus & earth is 48 million kilometers. (Note that the distance given between both the planets has been considered with reference to the Sun.That's suppose when all three are on a line.) Venus is around 48 million kilometers (25 854 848 miles) distant from Earth. The distance between Venus and Earth varies from 38 million kilometres (23.7 million miles) at it's closest point to 261 million kilometres (162 million miles) at it's most distant.

Answer 4

27.7 23.7

Both the Earth and Venus have ellipticle orbits which means their orbits around the Sun aren't perfect circles. Taking this into account and presuming for the sake of your question that Venus and Earth are in line, the distance between both could be between 23.7 and 27.7 million miles.

Answer 5

It really depends on which phase Venus is in. If it is in the gibbous phase ( 75% is illuminated) then it is about 105 million miles away from Earth. If it is in the first quarter phase (50% is illuminated) then it is about 64 million miles away from the earth.
