the amount of sunlight produced and the amount of sunlight received are two different things.
the amount of sunlight produced is caused by the magnitude of the nuclear fusion reaction going on in the sun at any given time. a bigger reaction means more light energy produced.
the amount of sunlight received depends on this and also distance the light has to travel. also things such as weather conditions. clouds may block sunlight reducing the amount received or vissible. dust and other particle in the air may also block amounts of sunlight.
Changes in the amount of sunlight at a location throughout the year are mainly caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This tilt creates the different seasons, with longer days and more direct sunlight in summer, and shorter days and less direct sunlight in winter. Additionally, the position of the location on Earth's surface also affects the amount of sunlight it receives.
The amount of sunlight reflected plus the amount absorbed must be equal to the amount of sunlight that hits the surface (incident sunlight) in order to account for all the incoming solar radiation.
Yes
No, the different appearances of the moon are caused by the amount of sunlight falling on the near side of the moon (the part we see from Earth).

No, fall and spring do not have the same amount of sunlight. In fall, the days get shorter leading to less sunlight, whereas in spring, the days get longer resulting in more sunlight.
Seasons are caused by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the Sun. This tilt creates variations in the amount of sunlight different parts of the Earth receive, leading to changes in temperature and weather patterns throughout the year. Each hemisphere experiences opposite seasons due to this tilt.
The amount of sunlight is unknown, but it gets up to 80 degrees F in July.
