The crater is named after the British physicist Frederick Soddy who was also a Nobel laureate.

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.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Soddy.
