How does scientific theory differ from a guess or opinion?
A hypothesis is an eduacted guess, and a guess has no previous knowledge about it.A hypothesis is usually part of a scientific experiment which involves a method for testing the hypothesis, and either supporting it, or supporting the opposite, the null hypothesis.
How a scientific theroy differs from a guess or an opinion?
A scientific theory is based on a practical work of a scientists who on the basis of these practicals they deliver theories with solid and proved methods but a guess or opinion is an idea of ours which is not based on practicals or just a hypothesis.Scientific theories are often proved true but we can say nothing about a guess
Which one is not a scientific method hypothesis experiment guess theory?
Guess.
How does a scientific theory compare with a hypothesis?
A hypothesis is an educated guess on the possibility of some phenomena while a scientific theory is when the phenomena is confirmed by observation.
What is a theory a fact or opinion?
A theory is an educated and best guess. It is not an opinion. It hasn't been proven (or disproved) yet but can be with addition information. Once proven it will be come a law.

a theory is backed up by facts while a guess isnt.

How does a scientific theory differs from a guess or an opinion?
Theories have been tested 100s, even thousands of times while guesses adn opinions have much less foundation.

How a scientific theory differs from a guess or an opinion?
A hypothesis is a guess based on the knowledge of the scientist who makes it about what will happen in certain conditions. An experiment is designed to test the hypothesis, or observations are made in the conditions that the hypothesis describes. If the experiment or observation proves that the hypothesis is wrong, then the hypothesis is modified or discarded. If many, many different experiments and observations, performed many, many times, by many, many different scientists all seem to support the hypothesis, then the hypothesis comes to be accepted by the scientific community as a good working model for the conditions it describes. It then becomes a theory. At any time, an observation could disprove a theory or at least force it to be modified, but all theories currently accepted at any given time have lots of strong scientific evidence supporting them. (It is impossible to PROVE a theory, only to provide evidence in support of it). A theory will alwaysbe reconsidered in the face of new evidence. An opinion may not be. A theory also has much more evidence behind it than a guess.

What is the difference between a scientific theory and just the common theory?
A scientific theory has been tested repeatedly and is correct for all observed results. A common theory (as used in everyday language) is just a guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory
What is the nature of sciences hypothesis?
A scientific hypothesis could be described as a reasonable guess. If it checks out, it can be promoted to the status of a scientific theory.
Scientific theory is only an opinion?
In a Colloquial sense, yes, in common day speech, a theory is simply an educated opinion, however, in a scientific context, A theory is the highest degree of proof available, in science, a theory is the combination of all available data on a particular matter that allows a person to establish knowledge on a preexistent hypothesis. To be a theory, something must not contradict existing knowledge, it must have faced scrutiny and survived, and must have made apt predictions that have been confirmed by rigorous experimentation. I hope that helps :)
