Seriously; the sun casts the same shadow across all bodies in its orbit. How can we see so much shadow on Earth and yet see so much of the other planetary body in light...at the same camera angle at the same time?

Because the Moon’s lit surface is closer to the camera and Earth is a quarter million miles behind it. Earth shows a crescent because from this angle, most of its sunlit side faces away from the camera. Same sun, same shadows, two spheres at different distances.
