But over time the planet was choked and dried and became how it is now Getting to Venus • 67.2 million miles from the sun • In a car going 65 miles per hour it would take 45.3 years to reach Venus • http://interactive.colum.edu/students/mLunk es/5/venus/history.html • http://www.adlerplanetarium.org/learn/plane ts/venus/distance.ssi
