Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere, sentence 3

Even sitting still on your chair you are flying: the Earth spins and races round the Sun at about 100,000 kilometres an hour, and you do not notice because everything moves with you.

Who acts: you, Earth, everything · What happens: sit, fly, spin, race, not notice, move · To what, where: chair, 100,000 kilometres, Sun

This is a sentence of the lesson «Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere» 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 (you, Earth, everything), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
