"Hard"  Science Fiction  is firmly grounded in reality, with few fantastic flights of fancy not justified by Science. "Soft"  Sci Fi  is more flexible on the rules. Even the fantastical aspects of the story will show a divide — in hard SF, they operate through strict, preferably physical, laws, where in soft SF they work in whatever way suits the story best. What this leads to for hard SF is a raised bar for the amount of research the writer must put into the story, and usually  this is shown quite clearly.
