Excuses are generally made to avoid responsibility, and they aren't always completely accurate. Explanations just clarify what happened.
The thing is, the person receiving an explanation might well just assume it's an excuse, and it's hard to convince them otherwise.
Yup, when it comes to intent only one person actually knows the intent and everyone else is assuming.
To add, justifications are the opposite of excuses, they are a reason for something that justifies it.
Excuse | Explanation | Justification
Yea, even when I explain something I did wrong, I make a point to mention it's not an okay excuse and own my mistake. Then give ways I will avoid this problem I'm the future.
It's this.
Good additions about justifications in this thread as well.
