The apparent brightness of any object depends on three factors.
1. Actual size
2. Distance

The Moon isn't especially bright; it doesn't shine on its own and the surface is gray dust, so it isn't all that good a reflector. But it's fairly large, and it is VERY CLOSE as celestial bodies go.
The Moon is very bright because it reflects sunlight and is very close to Earth.
