The distance from the Earth to the Sun is not a major component of the causes of the seasons.
A more important factor is the inclination of the axis.
See the answer to "What causes the Earth's seasons?"
The Earth is far enough from the Sun that a minor change in it's distance would not cause a significant change in the tempature.

What evidence is there that distance from the sun is not a cause of the seasons?
It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earths seasons?
SUCH AN INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT THAT IT JUST SOFTENS THE WINTER AND SUMMER TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE EARTH IS CLOSEST TO THE SUN IN JANUARY.
What does the sun have to do with earths seasons?
when the earth turns it doesnt only cause day and night but for example: if were you live is facing away from the sun then its most likey the season of winter
How are earths seasons caused?
Earths seasons are caused by the relative position of the earth to the sun. Since the earth rotates around the sun in an elliptical pattern, sometimes it is closer to the sun than others. This explains summer/winter, etc...
What causes use to have seasons?
the earths tilt and the orbit around the sun
Why isn't the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause thr seasons?
its to far away
Does the sun's revolutions cause the seasons.?
no. the earths orbit cause the seasons
Which is NOT a cause of seasons?

What is the cause earths seasons?
the way the earth spins arund the sun causes the seasons.
What is the sun's highest point in the sky called?
what are two cause of earths seasons
Why isnt the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause the seasons?
The change in distance is not very significant. Note that when it is Summer in the northern hemisphere, it is Winter in the south, and vice versa. This has nothing to do with the distance from the Sun, which is practically the same for North and South.
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
What DOES NOT cause the earth 's seasons?
earth distance from the sun
Why is the earths seasons changed?
The seasons change NOT because the Earth rotates, but because of our revelution around the sun. It is summer when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. the seasons have nothing to do with the distance to the sun. the Eath is closest to the sun in winter.
What if the earths orbit aroud the sun was circular and not elliptical?
Not much would change. Note that the seasons are NOT related to changes in the distance from the Sun.
