Question

How does a scientific theory differ from a scientific law?

Answer 1

1.A law is an observation; a theory is the explanation of that observation.

2.A theory requires experimentation under various conditions. A law has no such requirements.
3.A theory may become obsolete with time. This is not the case with a law.
4.A theory can be replaced by another better theory; however, this never happens with a law.
5.A theory may be strong or weak according to the amount of evidence available. A law is a universally observable fact.
