Day and night, and the Moon's faces, sentence 3

The Moon makes no light of its own: it is always half lit by the Sun, and as it goes round the Earth we see different amounts of that lit half, from a thin crescent to a full Moon.

Who acts: Moon, Sun, we · What happens: make, lit, go round, see, amount · To what, where: light, Moon, Earth, different amounts, thin crescent, lit half

This is a sentence of the lesson «Day and night, and the Moon's faces» 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 (Moon, Sun, we), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
