King is a prominent lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, and can not be viewed directly from Earth.

[2] It forms a pair with Ibn Firnas, which is only slightly larger and is attached to the northeast rim of King.

The outer rim of King is roughly circular but with a slightly irregular appearance, particularly at the northern end.

[3] A tiny crater near the east-southeastern inner wall has been officially given the Indian feminine name Sita by the IAU.

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