Soddy is an eroded lunar impact crater that lies to the south-southeast of the prominent King crater. Material from the ray system surrounding King covers the sides and interior of Soddy crater. Less than a crater diameter to the west of Soddy is the smaller Heron crater.

This crater has been heavily worn and eroded, so that only a remnant of a crater depression survives. There are small craterlets along the rim edge to the southwest and southeast. The interior is uneven and almost indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain.

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 Soddy crater.
