Some could explain to me why the shadow differs so much on different plane?

Like in the image. In my scene, I only have one direction light, a cube(to cast shadow), a plane and a HDRIBackdrop(to recieve shadow). As you can see, the shadow on HDRIBackdrop ground is lighter than side of the plane, while the side plane is darker than the top. Why is this happening?
