It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
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.
distance between the earth and sun
One common misconception is that the seasons are caused by the distance of the earth from the sun; when the sun is closer to earth we are hotter, and when the sun is farther away we are cooler.
No, the main cause is the Earth's axial tilt. We receive the same amount of solar radiation year-round. during the winter that radiation is spread over a larger surface and so it is less effective, during the summer the same radiation is on a smaller surface and so it is warmer. Besides, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere it is summer in the southern hemisphere. So distance from the sun is NOT the cause of seasons. Interestingly, we are closest to the Sun on January 4th and furthest from the Sun on July 4th.

The sun's revolutions cause the seasons.
It doesn't vary so much. The face of the Earth directed at the sun varies yearly -- seasons!
its to far away
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.
It's an average of 150 million km. Remember i said average cause the distance changes of the seasons. Cause the earth rotates around the sun okay. =)

no. the earths orbit cause the seasons
The Earth's changing distance from the Sun during the year causes the seasons.
