Well, nose gear is landing gear but I assume you mean the difference between the main landing gear (the ones under the wings) and the nose gear.

Main gear has to handle the weight of the whole plane as it touches down, so it is made stronger. Some nose gear is steerable so you can taxi and correct your position on the runway before you are going fast enough that the rudder can affect the airplane's trajectory.
