You would need a telescope to distinguish continents on Earth from the surface of the Moon.* The human eye can't resolve details on Earth's surface from such a distance without magnification. Even though Earth would appear large in the lunar sky due to its proximity compared to other celestial bodies, the continents and features would not be visible to the naked eye from the Moon's surface.
With the naked eye from the Moon, Earth would look like a beautiful, colourful orb in space, but any specifics, such as continents, would be blurred out. A telescope, however, would allow you to see some details depending on the magnification and quality of the telescope. High-powered telescopes, such as those used by space agencies or professional astronomers, could provide views detailed enough to distinguish continents and perhaps even major geographical features like oceans and mountain ranges.
