Explanation:

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. Scientific theories are not ever proved in the sense of being proved to be 100% correct.

Examples of some scientific theories are ::

Evolution, gravity, atomic theory, the germ theory of disease, relativity, quantum theory, electromagnetic theory, layered Earth theory, etc...
