I believe it's closer to 1,5cm per year.

And if you reverse extrapolate that some 65 million years, you'll see that the real reason why the dinosaurs ied out was because they all got hit in the head with moon!

If this is true, then 97.5 million cm = ~600 miles. Or, 0.25% of the distance to the moon....a small difference.

It's not funny anymore if you prove me wrong by math :-)
