Manners is a lunar impact crater located in the western part of the Mare Tranquillitatis. To the northeast is the larger Arago crater, and to the south are the Ritter and Sabine craters. The crater has a rim with a higher albedo than the surrounding maria, making it appear "bright". This is a circular, bowl-shaped feature with a raised rim and a relatively flat interior.

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 Manners crater.
