Explanation
A prediction is a statement about what someone thinks will happen in the future. It is based on information, experience, or guessing. For example, a weather prediction tells us if it might rain or be sunny. Predictions are common in science, sports, business, and daily life. They help people prepare for possible events, but they are not always correct because the future cannot be known with complete certainty.
