When you observe the moon from Earth you see the side that is illuminated by the sun, whereas if you observe it from space you see the opposite side, which does not receive any light from the sun.

Why does the Moon look quite bright from Earth when it is full but quite dim and faint from space?

The moon doesn't create it's own light, it just reflects light from the sun, so the difference in angle could be it. Like the earth gets the direct reflection so it would be brighter then looking at it from an offset position in space. Or if you mean between a picture from space and looking up in the sky then the camera/satellite makes a difference versus real life. There are multiple other factors as well that could affect it as well, such as timing and the fact that the light passes through the earth's atmosphere. So there's no way to know for 100% certain what any difference would be, but you could take a guess.
