A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is substantiated through testing and observation. A scientific law is a statement that describes a consistent, natural phenomenon that has been observed repeatedly and has not been contradicted. A scientific principle is a basic truth or law that underlies a theory and helps explain how or why something happens.
Both law and theory are based on principles and guidelines that explain phenomena or govern behavior. They are established frameworks that are continuously refined through observation, testing, and revisions. Both aim to provide understanding and predictability in their respective fields of study.
