My mom burns sage once a day to rid the negative energy in our house. She is a believer in good karma/bad karma and positive/negative energy. The habit is superstitious because it is more or less an unproven theory. There is no science to back up the ritual.
It’s a belief. She believes that the sage will cleanse the negative energy away. Sage burning stems from the Native Americans, they’ve burned sage for centuries as part of a spiritual ritual to cleanse a person or space of any negative thoughts, memories, or behavior.
An explanation for a situation is going to be a scientific fact that proves to reason why something happened the way it did. Example: The ice melted because of the sun. This is a true statement and has evidence to back it up.
A superstition is an unprovable factor and a need to resolve uncertainty with an “answer.”
People came up with these superstitions to answer the unanswered questions and to justify situations. I think the reason people today still believe in superstitions is because of tradition and also a sense of control when we can’t find an answer to an “out of this world” problem.

On november 17, 1968, football fans across the united states sat glued to their televisions. a close game between two top teams—the new york jets and the oakland raiders—was being broadcast. when the jets pulled ahead with only fifty seconds remaining, viewers went wild. but then, just as the raiders were bringing the ball across midfield, the game disappeared from the screen! in its place, a previously scheduled children's movie, heidi, started playing. callers flooded the tv network's phone lines, but it was too late. the raiders scored two touchdowns in the very final moments—touchdowns that were unseen by all but west coast viewers. as a result of the interrupted event, dubbed "the heidi game," television networks began delaying their regularly scheduled programs until football games had ended.
