a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon with a lot of testing. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory. It is a misconception that theories turn into laws with enough research.

A scientific theory explains the reason for the occurrence of phenomena. However, a scientific law is limited to applicability and does not give any explanation regarding the phenomena in which it can be applied to.
