Fact is sometime known to be true(at least on the bases of what it was measured on; such as a person finger may be three inches long when measured by a ruler)

Belief is something that is thought to be true, even though it may or may not be so. Such as saying that all cats are better then dogs.

A fact is based upon an objective reality like a belief that is based upon The Bible would be objective yet subjectively appropriated. A belief is subjective as an idea and most today base that belief subjectively upon their diverse church systems or a subjective feeling hence not an objective reality.

A fact is a thing KNOWN to be true or to have really happened. Facts can be ascertained through documentation or experimentation.

An idea is just a thought or an opinion or even a suggestion. It is possible that an idea could become a fact. Most facts are originally determined by someone having an idea and proving it to be true.
