Both are different paths to 'knowledge'.
Science is 'objective' while philosophy is 'subjective' (including 'objectivism').
Science produces knowledge though proofs - either theoretical or experimental.
Philosophy produces knowledge though subjective perception of the world of an individual. It is ultimately driven by logic. But the answer may be true or a contradiction.
In science there is no room for contradiction. That is why science is more practical and easy to understand when compared to philosophy.

Science is a method of determining facts. Philosophy is also a method of determining facts, but it deals in more abstract concepts. In some ways philosophy is a science because its focus is logic.

Science deals with attempting to prove facts, using a procedure called the Scientific Method. Philosophy deals with abstract thoughts that are often unprovable. I mean, what IS the meaning of life? You can't determine that with data and variables, but you also can't answer it directly.
Lastly, Wikipedia is NOT a source. Entertainment yes, source no. Anything that is editable by anyone can not be thought of as fact.

Philosophy(literally love for wisdom[2]) is a DESIRE to learn, desire to have knowledge. Science (used to be known as Natural Philosophy[2]) is ONE of the tools available to a philosopher in a pursuit of knowledge.

Science is what you prove with experiments and philosophy is what you interpret without making any experiment.

In my openion Science is what you can ascertain or prove and Philosophy is though based on certain scientific or perpetual happennings, may not find concrete proofs for authentication.

I agree to some extent - my only contention would be that Philosophy is what we want to know more about or at least need to figure out some more.
