A fact is an objective statement agreed to be true, a theory is a well-supported explanation of natural phenomena, a hypothesis is a tentative explanation that can be tested, and falsifiable statements are those that can be proven wrong through experiments.

A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis as it is a well-supported explanation of observations and phenomena in the natural world.

A hypothesis is a tentative explanation that can be tested by further experimentation or observation, whereas a theory is a hypothesis that has been tested and supported by many experiments.

If a hypothesis is rejected by an experiment, it means the experiment may still have been a success because it provided valuable information about the validity of the hypothesis .
