1.Objective facts :
Objective means something that doesn't depend on what people think.
A fact is something that can be tested, measure or otherwise objectively concluded while a valid opinion is an interpretation of those facts, which means that in order to have an informed opinion you have to be familiar with the relevant facts.
Example :
The world is a globe. This is an objective fact, since whether people think it is or is not, it's still a globe.
scientific facts are objective as are mathematical proofs; essentially anything that can be backed up with solid data.

2. Subjective Opinions :
Subjective is just the opposite. You can’t point to subjective subjects. They are all in your head and your past experiences. Subjective opinions are ephemeral and subject to any number of factors that can range from facts to emotions.
Subjective means something that does depend on what people think.
Example :
- The Beatles were one of the greatest rock bands of all time. This is a subjective fact/opinion, since if everyone thought they were terrible then they wouldn't be called a great rock band (unless maybe you could show some external, biased reason why people thought they were awful, but without that incidental reason they would in fact be liked)
- This is a subjective opinion.
A blue pen.
A: "The pen is blue no matter what."
Well that is wrong because the pen is only blue when it reflects sunlight, which consist of all the colours, and the reflection enters our eyes. If you put the pen under the light of another star which emits less colours, the pen won't be blue.
therefore saying the pen is blue no matter what is a subjective thought, as a more objective saying should be: The pen is blue under the sunlight from a normal functioning human eye.
But as you can see it is pretty long to say it objectively. So sometimes it is good to simplify things.
