A causal explanation is not symmetrical, and a cause is always preceding its effects. Causal explanations explain statistically rare effects, such as lung cancer among smokers. In order to have a general characterization of causal explanations, it is important to distinguish between causal processes and causal interactions.

Causal explanations can be supported in science by explaining and discovering the outcome of the causes and conditions that contribute to the outcome. This would support causal explanations in science by providing information to back up a statement. For cases
