Fuels, the Sun and saving energy, sentence 16

The Sun shines because tiny parts of hydrogen join together deep inside it, a process called fusion, and it will keep shining for about another five billion years.

Who acts: Sun, tiny parts, process · What happens: shine, join, call, keep · To what, where: Sun, fusion · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Fuels, the Sun and saving energy» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Sun, tiny parts, process), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
