Scientific theories are supported by a lot facts and other scientists, but they still have missing parts. Laws are factual and followed by most scientists. Hypothesis are just a if, then statement that isn't supported by facts it's a statement based on reasoning.

Answer:

The scientific theory refers to the well-proven explanation of aspects of the natural world. It can be verified and repeatedly tested with the provided scientific method.

In contrast, scientific law refers to the statement based on repeated scientific experimental observations. It also describes the aspects of the natural world, however, it does not contain any explanation of the phenomenon.

Hypothesis refers to the proposed explanation for any phenomenon. It is based on minimum evidence and serves as the starting point of any scientific investigation
