The moon seems big to people because of how close it is next to Earth and would also seem like it is small when it is further away.

Planets do not give off light; they only reflect the light of the Sun. Same for the Moon; it only reflects sunlight. And not very well. The Moon has an albedo, an index of reflectivity, of about 0.04 - the same as a charcoal briquette! It only looks so bright because the Moon is pretty big and fairly close, and the SUN is so bright.
