The crater shapes and shading is different but otherwise the same as this side. Comment: There's one big difference between the far side and the near side of the Moon. The far side lacks the "maria" which are such a feature of the near side.

Yes.
What is the name of the Moon's largest impact crater?
The South Pole-Aitken basin (not "Aitken crater") on the far side of the moon, at 1,600 miles across, is not only the largest known impact crater on the moon but one of the largest in the solar system. It is also believed to be the moon's oldest and deepest (over 8 miles deep).

What are two of the larger craters on the moon?
The largest crater on the moon is the Aitken Basin. It is 2500 km in diameter and 13km deep. It is located near the Lunar south pole and is not viable from Earth. It is thought to be one of the largest craters in the solar system.Hertzprung is the second largest crater on the moon. It is 591 km in diameter and it located on the dark side of the moon just beyond the west limb.Apollo Crater is the third largest crater on the moon. It is located near the south pole on the far side of the moon. it is 538 km in diameter but its depth is unknown.Korolov Crater is about 437 km in diameter and is located close to the lunar equator on the far side of the moon.Bailly crater is the largest crater visible from Earth. It is 303 km in diameter and 4.3 km deep. Located near the south west limb of the moon.Some craters have flooded with molton lava after the impact. They are now called mare or seas.Mare Ibrium at 1,123 km in diameter is the largest.Mare Tranquillitatis made famous by the Apollo 11 moon landing, is about 873km in diameter.Mare Nubium is about 715 km in diameter.Apollo 17 landed near Mare Serenitatis. It is 707 km in diameter.Mare Orientale is about 327 km in diameter.
What phase is the moon in when you can see the entire near side of the moon?
Full Moon
How many percent illuminated is full moon?
There are two separate things that need to be addressed. One is the surface area of the Moon. The other is the surface area of the NEAR SIDE of the Moon. As a sphere in space, the Moon is always 50% illuminated, except during lunar eclipses. The phases of the Moon measure what percentage of the NEAR SIDE of the Moon is illuminated. At the new moon, none of the near side is lit up; at the full moon, 100% of the near side is illuminated.
What do you call the side of the moon that you always see?
The near side.
What is a ghost crater on the moon?
It's a crater that is not very prominent and is only easy to see when lit from the side at sunrise or sunset. Most of them have been filled in by lava flows.
