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.

What causes the changes in the amount of sunlight at a location during the year?

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.
