Stars, planets and constellations in the night sky, sentence 2

In the Northern Hemisphere one star, Polaris, the North Star, hardly moves at all, because it sits almost straight above the Earth's North Pole, and all the other stars seem to circle around it.

Who acts: Sun, other stars · What happens: move, sit, seem, circle · To what, where: Northern Hemisphere, one star, North Pole, Sun

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 page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Sun, other stars), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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.
