A law is supported by scientific evidence that is reproducible, whereas a hypothesis is simply a guess that can be confirmed or refuted by an experiment.

<h3>What exactly is a hypothesis?</h3>

A hypothesis is a guess based on a large amount of background information. If only five trees survived, they may have received more light than the other five.

In that case, one will devise an experiment in which the same plant is randomly assigned to different treatment groups with varying degrees of light, and the rate of growth of each group is compared.

Thus, a law is supported by scientific evidence that is reproducible, whereas a hypothesis is simply a guess that can be confirmed or refuted by an experiment.
