This Grade 4 fact and opinion practice page focuses on more facts to identify, including capital cities, math facts, and basic scientific truths. Students rewrite opinion-flavored sentences as clean fact statements, fill in vocabulary like fact, opinion, and viewpoint, and answer short questions that explain how evidence supports a fact. The work prepares Grade 4 readers to spot verifiable details in everyday reading and writing.

Part C: Short Answer

It is a fact because scientists have studied the Sun and confirmed it is a star using evidence and trusted sources like astronomy books.
