Salt Lake City, Utah is located in a warm desert like area where there are little to no bodies of water for evaporation. New York City however, is located right on the east coast next to an ocean which allows for water to evaporate and fall over New York more than in Utah. This is also why New York gets more snow in the winter. This is known as the lake effect.

Answer:

The Salt lake city of Utah is located in a region that experiences a semi-arid type of climate, where the summers are hot and dry and winters are cold and snowy. Here, the region lacks in the water content as a result of which the rate of evaporation is significantly low. Due to this, there occurs less annual precipitation.

On the other hand, the city of New York is located in a region where it experiences a humid subtropical type of climate. There is abundant water in this region and the rate of evaporation is quite rapid. As a result of which, the annual precipitation level is moderate.

Thus, due to their geographical and latitudinal location, the difference in the moisture content and evaporation rate, there occurs higher annual rainfall in New York City (46.23 inches) in comparison to the Salt lake city, Utah (18.58 inches).

What is the difference between solar and lunar eclipse?
Anarel [89]

A lunar eclipse happens on the moon, when the moon sails through the  Earth's wide, fat shadow.  Then, for a while, no sunlight can reach the moon, because the Earth is in the way.  Anybody on the night side of Earth who looks up toward the moon sees it turn dark, until it sails out of the Earth's shadow after an hour or two.

A solar eclipse happens on the Earth, when the narrow end of the moon's skinny shadow falls somewhere on the surface of the Earth.  Then, people who are inside that small spot and look up toward the sun can't see it, because the moon is in the way.  The moon is moving so fast, and its shadow is so small, that this can only last for a few minutes at any one place.
