A scientific theory is a structure which explains a set of empirical observations. Some well known theories:

Newton's theories of motion: explained how objects moved in the universe.

Einstein's general theory of relativity: explained how matter behaves in the universe.

Darwin's theory of natural selection: explained why there is a huge number of related species and how new species arose.
