Why can only the same side of the moon be seen from all parts of earth?
Are there any significant differences between the near and far sides of the moon?
Yes, there are some notable differences. The near side of the moon has significantly more lunar maria, or dark patches, than the far side. It also has fewer impact craters than the far side. The far side is much more heavily cratered and contains a larger number of rugged highlands.
