Here is one: You can observe that the position of the Sun amongst the stars changes. So either the entire sky with all the stars moves around us, the Sun moves around the Earth, or the Earth moves around the Sun. Assuming that it is Earth that moves around the Sun is the simplest of the assumptions (in the older, geocentric, model, the other planets had complicated orbits around the Earth).
