Some settings that can be found in Science Fiction are:
Future or alternate timelines
Outer space
Alien planets
Post-apocalyptic Earth
Other universes or dimensions
Thematically, both often deal with the struggle of good over evil; Star wars is a great example of a story with both Sci-fi and fantasy characteristics (this combination is often called a 'space opera'), Star wars contains such classic fantasy elements as an 'evil emperor', a princess to save, and a chosen hero who defeats the dark lord. The only thing that separates this from typical examples of heroic fantasy is the setting, which includes Spaceflight and advanced technology. Importantly, both genres, even at their most dissimilar provide a source of escapism from the mundaneness of modern and historical fiction (and non-fiction), by constructing a world, that never has, or never will be.
Superman is not a fairy tale; he is a superhero character from comic books, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938. His stories are set in a fictional universe and often explore themes of justice, morality, and humanity, rather than the magical elements typical of fairy tales. While both fairy tales and Superman narratives involve fantastical elements, Superman's origins and adventures are rooted in science fiction and superhero genres.
"Stitch" is not traditionally classified as a fairytale. It is more commonly known as a character from Disney's "Lilo & Stitch," which blends elements of science fiction and adventure with themes of family and friendship. While it features fantastical elements, it does not follow the typical structure or moral lessons found in classic fairytales.
They're both fiction, but easiest is probably to say that Lord of the Rings is a typical example of Fantasy, while Star Wars is a typical example of Science Fiction. More magic than rockets = fantasy More rockets than magic = sci-fi Elves and dragons = Fantasy Aliens and robots = Sci-Fi

A story that adheres to the speculative restrictions of science fiction but never-the-less allows in some blatant fantastical elements.The Dying Earth by Jack Vance is typical of this sub-genre
Ray Bradbury was often hesitant to categorize his work strictly as science fiction, believing that his stories transcended the genre's typical boundaries. He emphasized that his writing focused more on human emotions, experiences, and societal issues than on technological or scientific concepts. For Bradbury, the essence of his work lay in exploring the human condition, rather than fitting into a specific genre. He famously stated that he preferred to think of his work as "fantasy" or "speculative fiction."
"Around the World in 80 Days" is not considered science fiction. It is a classic adventure novel written by Jules Verne in 1873 that follows the story of Phileas Fogg as he attempts to travel around the world in 80 days. While it does involve elements of imaginative travel and exploration, it is not based on speculative science or technology, which are typical features of the science fiction genre.

"The Host" is 'science fiction for people who don't like science fiction'! It's about a girl named Melanie who becomes...I suppose 'possessed' is the right word here, by an alien named Wanderer. It's not your typical sci-fi, because the aliens have invaded, and we lost. It's tough reading at the start because it is all internal conversation between Melanie and Wanderer, but it does develop into a love story.
