Normal

Comparing sources means looking at different places where you can find information, like books, websites, or articles. When you compare sources, you check if they tell the same story or if they have different facts. For example, if you want to learn about penguins, you might read a book and also check a website. If both say that penguins live in cold places, you can be more sure that this fact is correct!
