Fahrenheit is a tiny Lunar Crater located in the southeast part of the Mare Crisium . This area of the surface is nearly devoid of impact features of interest. To the east are the Dorsa Harker wrinkle-ridges, and beyond them is Promontorium Agarum at the edge of the ''maria'' . The landing site of the Soviet Luna 24 probe is located about 15 Kilometer s to the southeast.

In the past this crater bore the designation 'Picard X', before being named by the IAU . Picard Crater is located to the east-northeast on the Mare Crisium .
