Stars, planets and constellations in the night sky, sentence 1

The stars seem to move slowly across the sky during the night, rising in the east and setting in the west, but it is really the Earth turning, just as it makes the Sun rise and set.

Who acts: stars, it, Earth, Sun · What happens: seem, move, rise, set, turn, make · To what, where: sky, east, west

This is a sentence of the lesson «Stars, planets and constellations in the night sky» of the world course of Mova's primary school.

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): R1-cc-next ×3, R7-rel-agree ×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.
