What is a scientific theory?

A scientific theory is an explanation that has been repeatedly tested and confirmed through scientific experimentation and observation. It is a well-established and widely accepted explanation for a natural phenomenon or set of phenomena. A scientific theory is based on empirical evidence and is subject to modification or falsification as new evidence or data is discovered. Scientific theories are developed through the scientific method, which involves making observations, forming hypotheses, testing those hypotheses through experimentation, and drawing conclusions based on the results. In general, scientific theories are considered to be the most accurate and reliable explanations of the natural world that we have.
