Correlation vs. Causation

What is Correlation vs. Causation?
Correlation describes the degree to which two variables tend to move together, indicating a statistical relationship. Causation, on the other hand, implies that one variable directly influences another, meaning a change in one variable produces a change in the other. While correlation can suggest a possible causal relationship, it does not prove it, as other factors might be involved. Essentially, correlation is about association, while causation is about a direct influence
