Philosophy is more wide in scope than science is.
Science is the systematic thinking for various subjects related to physical and human-related phenomena. However meta-physical subjects are in the scope of philosophy. Science tends to look for physical evidenced or for quantifiable data, while this is not possible all the times.
Philosophy uses insight and intuition to solve matters of great importance, such as "why do we exist" (which are by definition out of scope for science).
Bear in mind however that a correct scientist should be a philosopher as well. Relying only on arithmetic and/or experimental data is not leading you anywhere, if you have not also philosophised the subject in depth. Many philosophers must also have extensive knowledge of science if they are to reach conclusions based on most modern discoveries of physics or astronomy.

What is the relationship between philosophy and social sciences?
Philosophy is concerned with fundamental questions about knowledge, reality, ethics, and existence, while social sciences study human behavior and society using empirical methods. Philosophy provides a foundational framework for social sciences by exploring concepts and principles that underpin social scientific inquiry. Social sciences, in turn, apply philosophical theories and methods to understand and analyze social phenomena.

How do you differentiate philosophy from others sciences?
Philosophy deals with fundamental questions about existence, reality, knowledge, ethics, and the nature of the universe, using rational argumentation and critical thinking. While science focuses on empirical evidence, experimentation, and observation to understand the natural world. Philosophy tends to be more abstract and speculative compared to the empirical and objective nature of the sciences.

Why study of philosophy of science?
Philosophy is no longer a field of Science at all. Science, specifically Physics, did develop from Philosophy, and other Sciences developed from Physics. This (above) explains the term "PhD" (Doctor of Philosophy) and "Physician". There are many differences between Philosophy and Science. The most important is probably that Science deals exclusively with physical objects (living or not), while Philosophy has a wider area of concern. Also, in Science, questions can (often) be answered by performing an experiment. If everyone agrees that the experiment was designed and done well, the results are accepted as "the correct answer." It is not like that in Philosophy.
Is philosophy is related to other sciences or not?
Yes, philosophy is related to other sciences as it provides a framework for understanding the foundational principles and assumptions that underpin various scientific disciplines. Philosophical inquiries into topics such as ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology can help inform the methodology and approaches used in fields like biology, physics, and psychology.
