The best bit of evidence is that northern and southern hemisphere esperience the opposite seasons. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere and vice versa. If the seasons were dependent on Earth's distance from the sun, then the hemispheres would experience the same seasons at the same time.
Are the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere and the southern hemisphere the same?
