In light of the moon landing anniversary. Can someone explain this to a non space geek?

Night time sky pictures from Earth
My question is that on the moon with NO atmosphere to interfere with cameras there are absolutely ZERO stars in the background.
The earth pics, even with atmosphere clouding our image you can clearly see stars in the background.
Can someone explain this?

Those pics were taken with a potato.

Due to the size of Uranus, the gravitational force hides the stars in pictures.

Do you often see stars during the daytime on Earth? Because it's the middle of the day on the moon in those pictures.

I can't, but do you think we haven't been to space?
The proof I need is seeing an old video of Buzz decking a dude calling him a liar and a coward.

It's daytime on the moon there.
You don't see stars on earth during the daytime.

I really hate myself for never realizing this before now.
(I'm sure there's a logical explanation, though.)

From what I’ve understood, they have to use a filter that eliminates the glare of the sunlight bouncing up from the moon, but also filtered out starlight

Get the frick out of here with your moon landing conspiracy thread.

Maybe they went to moon in daytime and sky is black, not blue like Earth.

The real answer is exposure. Photos were exposed for the bright moon surface.

OP.. generally speaking, are you a "Moon Landing Hoaxer"? Or do you mostly accept all the proof that has been laid out over the years?
Just curious.

It has to do with the camera’s exposure.
From what I understand, the astronauts on the moon absolutely can see stars. The camera can’t pick them up.
Why can’t the camera not pick them up? I don’t know, I’m not a photographer. But I know this question can be explained thoroughly with a google search.

Pretty sure CMOS sensors didn’t exist back then, or at least not in the way it functions now lol

It was just a distraction from Vietnam.

Can you see stars in the daytime?
That was Moon daytime.

It's all fake. You've figured it out

Not sure if you got any serious answers yet, OP, but here goes:
Look at how fricking bright the spaceman is, especially his backpack. It looks like it’s damn near backlit. While the space suits were white, they weren’t THAT fricking white!
Here is Buzz Aldrin on the moon:
Here’s Buzz Aldrin’s suit (the exact same suit in the above photo) back on earth:
Less dramatically, go outside and look at the moon. What color is it? Would you then guess that a moon rock is actually this color?
So what I’m getting at, OP, is your question is easily explained by a phenomenon you’re already acquainted with. Every time you take a photo outside with you’re iPhone, know how you have to put your finger on the object of focus so everything else doesn’t get washed out? Well they didn’t have that feature with their Moon Camera, and further that very effect in the moon is exacerbated tremendously due to no atmosphere to speak of. The moon (and the space suits and even the lunar modules) are basically a giant fricking mirror for the sun. The stars in the sky stand no chance.
Tl;dr, the stars got washed out by the sunlight reflecting off the lunar surface
