Sanghelios has a gravity of 1.375 Gs, and an average surface temperature of -5°C to 96°C (23°F to 204.8°F). The [[Forerunner]]s' [[Bestiarum]] indicates that Sanghelios is similar to [[Earth]] in shape and proportion, though the land masses and multiple continents are more scattered in relation to bodies of [[water]]. There is a large variation of vegetation and temperature on the planet. Sanghelios' sky varies in hue from a bright yellow to a blood red, due to large amounts of suspended particles in the upper atmosphere.<ref name="HE145">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 311''</ref> Like Earth, its atmosphere consists of [[oxygen]], | Sanghelios has a gravity of 1.375 Gs, and an average surface temperature of -5°C to 96°C (23°F to 204.8°F).
