If light bounces off objects, why do shadows exist/vary in darkness.

If lights is extremely fast and manages to get to the Sun to the Earth without getting darker. How come light can’t bounce off everything and manage to get into every crevice of Earth. Why are there shadows and why do they vary in shade? They should logically be the same shade right?

It also gets absorbed. For example if an object is green it absorbs all light except green light. The green light bounces off of it.
