Error in Natural history section?

The 2nd paragraph of the Natural history section says that "There is evidence of an enormous impact basin in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars, spanning 10,600 by 8,500 kilometres (6,600 by 5,300 mi)".

How is this possible when the diameter of Mars is only 6779 km? This looks like an error to me. Nikpro (talk) 19:24, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

The same way the Pacific Ocean can be nearly 20,000 km acrossTemplate:Mdashits diameter is "distended" across the spherical surface of Mars. ArkHyena (it/its) 20:33, 5 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
