Answer

A is why B - This means that A causes B (Whatever A and B are)
A is because of B - The opposite.  B causes A instead of A causing B.

So if A is "rain", and B is "my car is wet"
Rain is why my car is wet.  -and - My car is wet because of rain.
not - My car is wet is why rain.  -and not - Rain is because of my car is wet.
