ELI5: why does the moon look big to our eyes but when we take a picture it’s really small

Edit: thanks for the awards guys. I’ve never gotten them before :)

Others are right about your brain's ability to focus, but also many cameras (including until very recently basically all mobile phone cameras) are very wide-angle. This is great for fitting in all of your friends from just arm's length.  It's also absolutely awful at capturing things at a distance, since such a tremendously large area is in-frame.
