Step-by-step explanation:

What is a definition of a theory?

A proposed explanation for observations that has been made accompanied with the laws which is accomplish through a series of tested hypothesis over time .

This all gives a way to predict how nature works and what drives certain behaviours and laws that account for all of that.
