Concept explainers
The reason of Einstein’s description of gravity as theory and Newton’s is a law.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The theory is limited explanation with observation whereas the law is complete explanation with observation and experiments.
The Einstein’s description of gravity is the theory based on his observation & it cannot be proved through an experiment that’s why it is called as theory.
Newton gave the complete information of his statement through experiments, so it is known as law.
Conclusion:
The theory is limited explanation with observation whereas the law is competed explanation with observation and experiments .
Thus, the Einstein’s description of gravity is called as theory & Newton’s as law.
