'''Suess''' is a small [[moon|lunar]] [[impact crater]] on the [[Oceanus Procellarum]]. It is a circular, cup-shaped feature with a higher [[albedo]] than the surroundings. The closest significant crater is [[Reiner (crater)|Reiner]], about 150 [[kilometer]]s to the west-northwest. The [[Lunar mare]] that surrounds the Suess crater is marked by the rays radiating from the [[Kepler (lunar crater)|Kepler crater]] to the east-northeast.
The long, sinuous [[rille]] named ''Rima Suess'' begins about 30 kilometers to the east of Suess, and winds its way in a generally north-northwesterly direction for a length of almost 200 kilometers.
==Satellite craters==
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Suess crater.
