The difference between a fact and an opinion is that facts can be proven or disproven through research, while opinions are based on beliefs and feelings. The word 'fact' is derived from the Latin word 'factum' which means 'something done'. In some cases, opinions can be considered facts. This is because opinions can be based on facts, and can be backed up by evidence.
