It will appear brighter because of the presence of atmosphere on Earth
The Earth will appear much brighter than the Moon, about six to seven times brighter. Because, one, the albedo of the Earth is higher than that of the Moon. Two, since the Earth’s surface is larger than the Moon’s, the total reflected light is greater.
