I often consider my stories, especially ones about life on other planets to be sci fi. The generation ship story is definitely sci fi. But I have heard of science fantasy and that sounds similar to sci fi.
So how can I tell if I am writing sci fi or science fantasy?
The reason I am asking about those 2 genres is that all of my stories are at least partly science based(Genetics in Math World for example and biology in Life on Kepler Bb and astronomy in Humans with Dragons(generation ship story)).
So how can I tell the 2 apart?
Would science fantasy be like Math World where genetics and physics are like the real world but the overall race(numbers) and how each one is formed is unlike real world(and in this case, super compact solar system of 62 planets)?
And would sci fi be like science fantasy but even more science based?
