Compare and contrast scientific theory and scientific law

Similarities:

Both are based on observation.Both are supported by empirical dataBoth are tested repeatedlyBoth are accepted by scienceBoth are based on natural phenomena

Differences:

Scientific law just describes a phenomenon. It does not give an explanation as to why the phenomenon occurs. It predicts an outcome of an event based on its initial condition.Scientific theory gives an explanation as to why an event had occurred.Laws are more resistant to change.Theories can be refuted and accepted, and develop other theories as well

Take note:

A scientific theory cannot be "upgraded" into a law, and a scientific law cannot be changed into a theory.
