Answer: A scientific question is always going to have the same answer, no matter who you ask, because the answer is fact. The other example is an opinion question, and the answer will be different depending on who you ask.

A good rule of thumb is that if you search a scientific question online, you'll be left with one answer at the very top of the page- whereas with an opinion question, you'll get multiple articles and surveys with no clear answer.
