Which statement best describes the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law


AA scientific theory is supported by more data than a scientific law.

CA scientific law includes equations

Verified Answer :

A scientific law is a statement based on repeated observation. It will always be true under a certain set of circumstances.

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

A scientific theory is usually proposed to explain certain observations after repeated experiments and available facts. However, a scientific law is more experimented and confirmed than scientific theories - this means scientific law is better supported by scientific facts and data than scientific theory.

Also, not all scientific law can be mathematically represented (includes equations).
