I guess I would use the concept of gravity. Fact: what comes up must come down. But “truth” is the “reasons” or the structure behind it. if I throw something off the roof, it will fall. But gravity is the truth behind the fact. Truth is hard to know because of everything that is involved. Facts tell us certain ‘aspects’ of truth, but only bits and pieces.
I agree with all points stated here. I think the context for what truth is may be personal more than fact in some cases. That said, truth does appear to have facts within it scope.
From my point of view there is. Consider thinking of it this way. Facts are just that, the cold hard facts. They are bits and pieces of information that in and of themselves convey no sense of direct judgement. They convey no substantive sense of right or wrong by themselves. On the other side is truth, and I believe what truth is, is an excercise in consideration of what the motives behind the actions that created the facts are. Facts are devoid of motive. Truth takes into account why the facts are as they exist. Just my thoughts on the matter.

Two different things.
A fact can be that it has snowed 8 inches. I think that is a lot (I live in New Jersey), where Canadians do not. We have two different opinions or perspectives. Is it true that 8 inches is a lot of snow?
Another fact is that there is a number written on the ground. I see the number 6, another person on the other side sees the number 9. Two different truths. We both can prove that the other is wrong. One of us has to change sides to see what the other is talking about.
I think, yes. I've spent a great deal of study on epistemology. Specifically objective and subjective. Truth comes from a subjective perception. Facts have more meat to them in terms of objective evidence.
The Nunes memo (released by a US Senate committee for those outside of America) contained a series of facts. It was also intentionally designed to be misleading, through the use of other facts that were omitted. It attempted to create a story that was not the truth. When further facts were released, a more truthful story emerged.
Yes. Facts are only true in the reference they are intended for.
