The Sun's light is basically white; our air scatters blue light, so the Sun looks yellowish, and red at sunset; from space it looks white.

Who acts: light, air, Sun · What happens: be, scatter, look, light · To what, where: blue light

This is a sentence of the lesson «Earth from space» of the myths course of Mova's primary school.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R2-punct-next ×1, R5-strong ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
