Understanding Facts and Opinions

The video tutorial by Auntie Whitney explains the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are statements that can be proven with evidence, such as Usain Bolt being the fastest man in the world, while opinions are subjective and based on personal preferences, like the taste of ice cream. The video provides examples of both and discusses how facts can be validated through research and evidence, whereas opinions vary from person to person.
