Uranus and Neptune, sentence 2

Uranus lies on its side, tipped over by about 98 degrees, so it rolls round the Sun like a ball rolling along the floor rather than a spinning top.

Who acts: Uranus, methane, ball · What happens: lie, tip over, roll, spin · To what, where: side, ball, Sun, floor

This is a sentence of the lesson «Uranus and Neptune» of the space 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 (Uranus, methane, ball), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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): R5-strong ×3, R7-rel-agree ×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.
