Look up the definition of the word "theory".

A theory would not be a theory if it were a fact.

Sorry, bud... YOU look up the definition of a theory.

Here, I'll do it for you.

In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it can in everyday speech. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena. It originates from or is supported by experimental evidence (see scientific method). In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all previous observations, and is predictive, logical, and testable. (1)

What is a fact?

In the most basic sense, a scientific fact is an objective and verifiable observation. (2)

Again, as I posted earlier... combine these two and you will understand.
