because when you take a photo of just JPEG form, it crops pixels together but raw every single pixel is saved hence a much larger file,
RAW is great, because it saves a screenshot of the universe, and after the fact you can edit what the world looked like.
It saves more information per pixel. White balance can be fine-tuned after the fact more accurately than on a JPG. Even exposure has more leeway.
