It depends on the orbit of the planets, generally speaking if all the planets were in alignment then it would be Venus but because they are staggered then Mars is closer for longer but is also further away for longer but Venus is closer more regularly because of the length of the orbit. I don't know for sure but there is probably a time when Saturn is closer than Venus but I could be wrong, I can't be bothered checking it, I'll just throw it out and someone will tell me if I am wrong.

As the moon is not a planet, it's Venus.

well a moon isn't what u would call a planet so it would probaby be mars but whilst in orbit it could be venus.

It is Venus . This is why she is called our sister planet.
