What is a Fact

A fact is something that is true. An example of a fact is


that the sun is part of our solar system. This is a true
statement.
 

What is an Opinion

An opinion is the thoughts and views of persons concerning


someone or something. Therefore, an opinion may or may not
be true. An example of an opinion is that Mary believes
roses are the most beautiful flowers. This statement is not
necessarily true, it is just how Mary feels.

A fact can be proven whereas, an opinion might not be able


to be proven. A fact will be unbiased giving a range of
perspectives and presenting information objectively.
Whereas an opinion might be biased containing some
measure of persuasion.
