The most whitish-looking crater at the right hand side of the pic. The one with a pimple inside it. :)

Hi, if you are refering to the large crater with a chain of descending size craterlets within, that's "Clavius".

Cloudcover - Atmosphere burns up smaller meteorites & larger one which do impact , most the craters get
smoothed out by atmospheric forces like winds & rain etc otherwise our planet would look like face of
a person with chicken pox like the moon does
