It is about half the Earth's width, and its day is almost like ours, only 40 minutes longer, but its thin air is mostly carbon dioxide and it is far colder than Antarctica on average.
Who acts: bike, day, thin air · What happens: be · To what, where: width, carbon dioxide, average
This is a sentence of the lesson «Mars» 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 (bike, day, thin air), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

One row per clause the reader finds. «not said here»: a role filled from the clause above. «roles by»: a VerbNet class and frame when one fits the verb, else the reader's rules on 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): R3-conj-first ×1, R5-strong ×2. 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.
