The earth, Venus and the sun are in the same relative position to each other once every 584 days. Five times 584 is 2,920. The earth orbits the sun once every 365 days. Eight times 365 is 2,920. So there is a 5-8 relationship. The earth influences Venus by its gravitational pull and vice versa.
The light from this planetary system has been on its way here since about the time Henry Kissinger was born.

The tidal transfer of momentum from the Sun has been slowly pushing the planets outward since they formed.
The influence of planets on moons or other planets varies by mass and distance, and since it’s square of the distance under consideration, it tends to have the more significant impact. To put it into perspective, the tides on the Earth’s seas and oceans are 2/3 due to the Moon (avg distance 238K miles; 1 percent the mass of the Earth) and 1/3 the Sun (93 million miles; 333K times the mass of the Earth).
