Can anyone help me how to move this table in overleaf?

Question

Can anyone help me move this table to the middle in overleaf? I've tried to look every where online but I can't seem to find the answer.

Here is the code to my table if it help:

\begin{table}[h!]

\caption{Variables and Parameters in SIR}

\centering

\begin{tabular}{c c c}

\hline\hline

S & Susceptibility stage for humans and mosquitoes \\

I & Infection stage for humans and mosquitoes\\

R & Recovered stage for humans\\

\alpha & Transmission rate of human becoming infected\\

\beta & Removal rate parasites from human  \\

\gamma & The rate which recovered individuals return to the susceptible statue due to loss of immunity\\

\epsilon & Probability of transmission of infection from a infected human to a susceptible mosquito, given that a contact between the two occurs \\

\delta & Probability of transmission of infection from a recovered human
to a susceptible mosquito, given that a contact between the two occurs. \\

\zeta & Transmission rate of mosquito becoming infected\\

\eta & Probability of transmission of infection from an infectious mosquito to a susceptible human, given that a contact between the two occurs.\\

\hline 

\end{tabular}

\end{table}

Here is how my table looks:

Welcome to TeX.SE!! You can insert \hspace*{-<<value>>cm} just before \begin{tabular}and try different values changing <<value>> to, for example 5 (so -5cm). — manooooh, Dec 01 '18 at 01:02
Your table is too wide to fit margins. There are various solutions, but please post a minimal compilable code — Bernard, Dec 01 '18 at 01:07
It's not a compilable document, just a snippet. Which document class do you use? Whch options? Which related packages? — Bernard, Dec 01 '18 at 01:25
If the proposed solution in the linked duplicate does not answer your question, then it'll be answered by My table doesn't fit; what are my options? — Werner, Dec 01 '18 at 01:52

one way to to fit your table in \textwidth is break long text in second column into more lines. for example as show the following image of table:

mwe for above table is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs, makecell, tabularx}
\usepackage[skip=1ex]{caption}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[h!]
    \caption{Variables and Parameters in SIR}
    \centering
    \setcellgapes{2pt}
    \makegapedcells
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{>{$}l<{$}X}
    \toprule
S           & Susceptibility stage for humans and mosquitoes \\
I           & Infection stage for humans and mosquitoes\\
R           & Recovered stage for humans\\
\alpha      & Transmission rate of human becoming infected\\
\beta       & Removal rate parasites from human  \\
\gamma      & The rate which recovered individuals return to the susceptible statue due to loss of immunity\\
\epsilon    & Probability of transmission of infection from a infected human to a susceptible mosquito, given that a contact between the two occurs \\
\delta      & Probability of transmission of infection from a recovered human
to a susceptible mosquito, given that a contact between the two occurs. \\
\zeta       & Transmission rate of mosquito becoming infected\\
\eta        & Probability of transmission of infection from an infectious mosquito to a susceptible human, given that a contact between the two occurs.\\
    \bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
    \end{table}
\end{document}
