Answer 2

Concept: A scientific theory is an explanation for a phenomenon in the natural world or the universe that has undergone extensive testing and verification using approved procedures for observation, measurement, and result evaluation.

A theory is defined as a hypothesis outside of science that may or may not be true. A scientific theory is understood in the scientific community to be a hypothesis or a collection of hypotheses regarding a phenomenon that have been verified by scientific method-based study.

A hypothesis is essentially a guess. For instance, a query or a set of questions may emerge when a scientist repeatedly witnesses the same event over time.
