What is a hypothesis in astronomy?

In astronomy, a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested through observation or experimentation. It is a tentative idea or prediction that can be supported or refuted based on evidence. Hypotheses in astronomy often lead to the development of theories that help explain the behavior of celestial objects and phenomena.


What is the hypothesis for stalagmites and stalactites?

There's no "hypothesis" as their chemistry is well-known, although their individual morphology can often be baffling.They are of crystalline calcite precipitated from ground-water that has dissolved the mineral from the limestone through whose joints, bedding-planes or faults it percolates en route to the cave.


What theory of birth of the solar system which involves a passing star pulling dust and debris from the forming sun?

No, nobody uses the term "solar galactic hypothesis". You may be referring to a "solar nebula", in which a cloud of gas and dust collapses under its internal gravity to form a star and perhaps some planets.


How many known satellites have gone to mars?

As of now, there have been a total of 24 known artificial satellites that have been sent to Mars by various space agencies and organizations. These satellites have been used for different purposes such as orbiting Mars, studying its atmosphere, surface, and geology, as well as facilitating communication between Earth and Mars missions.


Is there a colour that hasn't been discovered yet?

There is probably not a color that has not been discovered yet. Most colors are already well known, but they may not have been given a specific name. Practically any shade of color a person can think of can be made somehow.

What is a supporting hypothesis?

A well-supported hypothesis is a theory that appears to have a lot of evidence behind it. This evidence helps to make it seem likely that the hypothesis is true, but it is still just a theory until it has been proven.


What is the hypothesis of green pennies?

There is no well-known "Green-penny hypothesis" as far as I can tell. I suppose some student every so often creates their own hypothesis about why pennies turn green, but they are certainly not well-known, or even slightly-known.


What is the definition of Theory in scientific method?

A hypothesis that has been well tested and is considered to probably be true.


Why was Alfred Wegener's proclamation known as a hypothesis and not a theory?

Alfred Wegener's proclamation of continental drift was initially considered a hypothesis because it lacked substantial empirical evidence to fully support it. A theory requires a well-established body of evidence and confirmed predictions, which were not present at the time of Wegener's proposal.


What are the differences between hypothesis and theory?

A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested through experimentation or observation, whereas a theory is a well-substantiated explanation based on evidence from multiple studies. The main difference is that a theory has been repeatedly tested and confirmed, while a hypothesis is still being investigated.


Is a hypothesis less supported than a theory?

Yes, a hypothesis is a proposed explanation that has not been extensively tested or confirmed, while a theory is a well-supported explanation that has been validated through repeated testing and observation. In scientific terms, a theory is considered more established and supported than a hypothesis.


Is a hypothesis valuable when it has not been proven?

a hypothesis is simply a guess 2nd answer: A true hypothesis is not simply a guess - it is a well-researched and tested suggestion of a possible truth. An unproven hypothesis can be really bad. The hypothesis of global warming is an example of an unproven hypothesis because nearly no scientists are following the correct procedure of trying to prove it wrong. In the case of global warming, billions and billions and dollars are being spent trying to prove it correct. That is backwards.


Is a well-tested and widely accepted view that best explains certain scientific observations?

A well-supported hypothesis is a theory that appears to have a lot of evidence behind it. This evidence helps to make it seem likely that the hypothesis is true, but it is still just a theory until it has been proven.


Why is a hypothesis not just a guess?

Unlike a wild guess, a hypothesis is based on observations and it must be testable......:-) answer by hismejohn

Why is evolution considered a theory and not a hypothesis or a law?

In science, a hypothesis and a theory differs in that a hypothesis is a conjecture based on empirical observation or theoretical derivation yet unproven or by any experimental work, and that a theory is a hypothesis that has been rigorously tested by many researchers and supported by strong evidence. Evolution is a theory that has been repeatedly tested, supported by overwhelming evidence, and can be used to explain natural phenomenon very well.
