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. {| class="wikitable" !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Suess !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter |- |align="center"|B |align="center"|5.7° N |align="center"|47.3° W |align="center"|8 km |- |align="center"|D |align="center"|4.7° N |align="center"|46.5° W |align="center"|7 km |- |align="center"|F |align="center"|1.1° N |align="center"|44.6° W |align="center"|7 km |- |align="center"|G |align="center"|3.4° N |align="center"|48.4° W |align="center"|4 km |- |align="center"|H |align="center"|4.0° N |align="center"|45.7° W |align="center"|4 km |- |align="center"|J |align="center"|6.9° N |align="center"|48.5° W |align="center"|3 km |- |align="center"|K |align="center"|6.5° N |align="center"|50.0° W |align="center"|3 km |- |align="center"|L |align="center"|6.1° N |align="center"|50.5° W |align="center"|5 km |} ==References== {{Lunar crater references}} [[Category:Craters on the Moon]] [[hu:Suess-kráter]]
