A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
Scientific theory and scientific law both aim to describe and explain natural phenomena but differ in their scope and function. A scientific theory provides a comprehensive explanation of an aspect of the natural world, supported by extensive evidence and able to make predictions. In contrast, a scientific law describes a consistent observation or relationship, often expressed mathematically, but does not explain why it occurs. Both are essential components of scientific understanding, with theories evolving over time based on new evidence, while laws remain consistent unless new evidence disproves them.
A theory, when proven over time, can become a law. Example: Law of Gravity and Theory of Evolution
You're playing with words ... a "law" is just a thumb nail description of a theory.
A theory is just an idea of how things work a law is a theory already proven that applies anywhere just depending of the variables used in the law

scientific law is unlike a scientific theory in a sense that its the next step above a scientific theory.A scientific law is one that has been proven, a scientific theory has not been proven yet.

A theory explains how something works - a "law" is just a thumb nail description of a theory.

In general, a scientific theory is a proposed explanation that has not been fully proven yet, while a law is a theory that has been proven to be true by lots of experimentation. The theory of Gravity has been tested and shown to be correct so much that it is at this point clearly a scientific law.
There are no LAWS in science, a theory is the best you can do. There are laws in mathematics (it's all man made) and so when a scientific principal is described mathematically it is often described as a law : the law of gravity, the gas laws, etc but they're just decriptions for the technicians that need to build the gadgets.

A scientific theory is accepted as factual even though it hasn't been proven. A scientific law has been proven as fact.
