Never remove a trap with chemicals present; you risk burns to your skin. Call a professional but make certain you inform them of what chemical you used.
Originally Answered: Why is the Moon drifting away by 1 cm each year? Because of tidal forces between moon and Earth. As Earth and moon pull each other, bulges are created on the surface.
That happens because it takes 27.3 days both to rotate on its axis and to orbit Earth. We see either the full moon, half moon or no moon (new moon) because the moon reflects sunlight. How much of it we see depends on the moon's position in relation to Earth and the sun.Though a satellite of Earth, the moon, with a diameter of about 2,159 miles (3,475 kilometers), is bigger than Pluto. (Four other moons in our solar system are even bigger.).The moon is a bit more than one-fourth (27 percent) the size of Earth, a much smaller ratio (1:4) than any other planets and their moons.This means the moon has a great effect on the planet and very possibly is what makes life on Earth possible.hat happens because it takes 27.3 days both to rotate on its axis and to orbit Earth.
