Petit is a small, bowl-shaped lunar crater that is located on the northwest edge of the Mare Spumans. The name is curiously appropriate, since Petit means small in the French Language. But it was actually named in honor of Alexis T. Petit, a French physicist. The crater lies to the south of Townley crater, and east of Condon crater. Further to the northwest is Apollonius crater. Petit was previously designated 'Apollonius W' before being given a name by the IAU.
