Alexis learned about the Universal Law of Gravitation which states every object is attracted to
every other object with a force that is determined by their mass and distance.
Why is it considered a law and not a theory?
Everyone can observe how gravity affects an object, so it is a law.
Gravity can be explained using observations and has been proven with repeated successful testing, so it is a law.
It describes what happens in nature, appears to be without exception and is supported by repeated successful testing, so it is a law.
All scientists accept gravity's effect on objects as a true concept, and there is no debate about its existence or how it works, so that makes it a law.

Scientists do not understand the theory of plate tectonics, so it needs to be modified.
A theory needs a large body of evidence to support our understanding of natural events.
Scientists should always add more evidence to existing theories, so they cannot be disproved.
