Why are the rear wheels larger than the hind wheels in an airplane?

In airplanes, the rear wheels (main landing gear) are typically larger than the hind wheels (nose gear) to support the majority of the aircraft's weight during landing and takeoff. Larger wheels provide greater stability and better shock absorption when the aircraft touches down. Additionally, the size difference helps improve the ground handling characteristics, ensuring that the aircraft remains balanced and maneuverable on the runway.
