OK, Junior, this old geezer here, being as old as the hills, will give it a shot.
This is Photoshop 101, and is explained in the help files. Also a forum search would have revealed many threads here in which your beginner's question has been answered. Google is always your friend.
The key word here is Compression. The size you refer to as "in Photoshop" is the size of your decompressed image in RAM. Note I wrote image, not "image file".
What you see in the Mac Finder or in Windows Explorer—what you refer to as "in desktop" [sic]—is the size of your compressed image file on disk or in Bridge.
Especially JPEGs will vary greatly due to the brutal compression levels you can use. Also, every single time that you open and save a JPEG, it gets re-compressed all over again with a corresponding further loss in image quality, over and over again.
The following boilerplate text contains a link that i urged you to read. It's about how to post questions here, and one of the points it stresses is that you are supposed to do your due diligence before posting here.
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

EXCERPT:
"If you can't find the answer by any of those methods, do post your question in the relevant forum here."
Thanks!
