Answer:

Theory: a theory is an explanation for observations of the world, that is possibly true but not proven to be true. A theory is an explanation of a fact.

Hypothesis: a hypothesis is a theory or explanation at the start of a research that the research is designed to test. The hypothesis is based on facts, or the assumptions of the researcher, but it must be tested.
