People often use the terms accurate and correct interchangeably as if they were synonymous. They are not.

The term correct deals with the truth or falsity of something.

The term accurate describes how closely a claim aligns with the actual features of something.

So, if I claim to be 6' tall, that is either correct or incorrect.

A claim regarding the distance from the earth to the moon may be either accurate or inaccurate.

The reason for the confusion is that the terms often overlap.

So, for example, in the cases just mentioned, either word could be applied. 

I might ask you regarding something if I would be correct in assuming XYZ.

I might likewise ask if my assertion that XYZ is accurate.

The difference may seem trivial, but one of the wonderful features of the English language is the nuances it contains.

That statement is both accurate and correct.
