It is law, definitely not theory
I would say it is a Theory. We don't know the exact effects of gravity everywhere and how it effects everything.We only have a loose general idea on how gravity works, and interacts with the universe and our surroundings.Laws should not only be testable, but they should be constant, and have great scientific explanation and understanding.If I drop a leaf from a certain distance based on many factors it may or may not hit the floor at the same time. That's cause of the air currents.Or if I have magnetics repelling something upwards, it would defy gravity.If you were on the moon or another planet, the way how gravity affects you would be different.So the idea that gravity is a constant can be under scrutiny, because the tests can have different but similar results.Due to our lack of understanding on what the rate of gravity would be like if we were on Jupiter, Mars, the Moon. We cannot calculate the exact speed of gravity for every body of mass.So far now we have a unifying theory. That is a good general idea on how gravity works, but we do not have the knowledge or ability to calculate all the exact details on how it works.When we can determine the rate of gravitation for each atom or particle, that's when we can call it a law.

∙ 12y agoA law is nothing else but a statement about a relation going on in Nature, which is found to be empirically true, and which can be poured into a precise mathematical equation.
The Law of Gravity, for example Newton's Law of Gravity is a law simply by virtue of being able to be expressed mathematically as:
F = G*M*m / r^2
(I let out the vector signs for simplicity).
The theory of evolution is just as true as the law of gravity (in this case Einstein's, because Newton's has been improved by it), but you cannot pour the theory of evolution into a single formula. That is why it is not a Law, not because it is less true or anything.
