Cubic Curve R_Squared: Why they differ?

Juanito Talili
Dear everyone,
 
A scatter plot was created using the chart
builder; then, a cubic curve was
drawn (superimposed) in the scatterplot using the chart editor.  The R square of that cubic
curve was 0.855.  Then, using the same dataset, a cubic model was run
using the  curve estimation under the regression menu and yielded an R squared of 0.845.  I wonder why the
two R squares (0.855 vs 0.845) differ? Any comments are welcome!
Thank you.J. Talili
