Venus is closer to the sun than any other planet except Mercury. Its mean (average) distance from the sun is about 67 million miles (108 million kilometres).
So when Mercury and Venus are lined up on the same side of the sun, with Mercury and aphelion and Venus at perihelion, the distance is a minimum of 42 million km. When they are on opposite sides of the sun, both at aphelion, the distance is maximized to 174 million km.
