Things that are closer require our eyes to bend inward more to focus it, and so if your eyes bend more, your brain knows its closer to you.

For monocular cues, you have motion parallax, which says that things closer to you move faster than those farther away (on a road trip the road moves much much faster than the clouds) and relative size (things closer to you are bigger than those far away, like a skyscraper), theres light and shade (basically shading gives you ideas of form and depth) and interposition (things that are partially covered by an object are behind that object).
