That is a difference between a law and a hypothesis?

A law describes how two variables affect each other, but a hypothesis only discusses one variable.
A law must be testable so that it can be proven, but a hypothesis is an untestable explanation.
A hypothesis includes an explanation for why two variables affect each other, but a law only describes how they
affect each other
A hypothesis may or may not be testable, but a law is an untestable explanation of why two variables affect each
other and cannot be proven

Answer:

A hypothesis is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon.

A law is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept, according to Kennesaw State University. ... However, Newton's law doesn't explain what gravity is, or how it works.
