Detailed Solution

It would require a significant change in the number of days for a rocket ship to reach Venus.
NASA's Mariner 2 mission has completed the first successful flyby of Venus. It was launched on August 8, 1962 and successfully completed a flyby on December 14, 1962. It took this spacecraft 110 days from launch to Venus.
Venus Express, an ESA mission, was the last object to fly by Venus. From launch on November 9, 2005, it took 153 days to reach or fly past Venus.
We have to travel in a transfer orbit that transports us between Earth and Venus, so we see that the number of days required varies greatly.
