Lots of superstitions are based on observations, which are scientific data. For example:
Pele, the volcano god of Hawaii, was based on the observation that volcanoes could do major damage. So there must be a god there.
The ocean can cause major damage along the coasts. Clearly there is a god involved.
The point is this. While the observations are scientifically valid, the conclusions based on them are not.
The greatest thinkers during the Renaissance contributed greatly to the age of explorer. People believed less in superstitions and started to accept new discoveries in science, particularly about space and the universe.

Superstitions are not based in science. There might be a logical reason like breaking a mirror is bad luck but does not cause bad luck but this is not scientific.

When it comes to superstitions, there are none. Science relies on repeatable, redundant results from experiments in order to consider it valid. Superstition relies on a weakness of a believer.
You should not believe in Superstitions. Superstitions is the product of ignorance among people. Many superstitions are not true.
There is none. Superstition is completely bereft of science. However, a savvy person may use scientific techniques to gain advantage over someone who believes in superstitions.
There are no advantages to superstitions. They are not based on rational facts or science and come to us from a time when there was no science to explain the world. It is fun to do some of them, but other than that they have no value.
