From a particular location on Earth, why can we see many more total eclipses of the Moon than total eclipses of the Sun?

the Moon is much bigger in the sky than the Sun

a total lunar eclipse is visible over a much larger part of the Earth’s surface than a total solar eclipse

the Moon is always in the same place in our sky, while the Sun moves around the sky

the line-up of the Earth, Moon, and Sun needed for a lunar eclipse happens many, many times more often than the line-up needed for a solar eclipse

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?
