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.

This! Also exposure times. Go out with your best camera, set to a very quick shutter setting. and snap a photo. You will not see stars.
The photos you posted have long exposures.
But yea, the daytime brightness is the main issue.

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

“The stars are very faint and get washed out by the bright light of the moon. The stars are there and the astronauts can see them if they look away from the sun. The reason that the stars do not show up on the film is that the stars are so dim that the camera cannot gather enough of their light in a short exposure”

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.

We have many powerful telescope cameras on Earth. Has one of them ever taken a picture of the flag that was planted from Earth?

Unfortunately the conspiracy theorists reject common sense explanations. MUH FAKE MOON LANDING

No, it is not that powerful. I appreciate your curiosity, but you simply don not understand magnification and size and distance

I am not a "hoaxer."
I also FIRMLY believe we've been to space.
I'm just asking a question. The cameras used even back then was very hi def. They should have picked up stars in such a dark background of the lunar surface.

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.
