Fact vs Theory vs Hypothesis vs Law
What is fact?
- We give a explanation.
- Observation about the world around us. For example: It is bright outside (that is the fact)
What is hypothesis?
- Something that you test and you confirmed it.
- A proposed explanation for a phenomenon made as a starting point for further investigation. For example: It is bright outside because the sun is probably out.
What is Theory?
- Know something works based on evidence and to make predictions
- A well-substantiated explanation acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed ( through observation and experimentation). For example: when the sun is out, it tends to make it bright outside.
What is Law?
- A statement based on repeated experimental observations that describes some phenomenon of nature. Proof that something happens and how it happens. For example : formula of gravity law on Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
facts → hypothesis → testing → theory → predictions

BalasPadamtheory can also be said of principles on which the practice of an activity is based.
BalasPadamWords like “fact,” “theory,” and “law,” get thrown around a lot. When it comes to science, however, they mean something very specific; and knowing the difference between them can help you better understand the world of science as a whole.
