IMO, A fact is something which can be prooved and backed up with evidence. A theory is basically a concept that cannot be prooved or has not yet been verified.

A fact is something which is inherently true. For example, 2 + 2 = 4 is a fact of base 10 mathematics. A theory, scientifically, is a well-tested explanation of phenomena based on facts.
