Maybe, but I can "know" the same thing in a dream.
I'd say that knowledge implies that you think you have access to an underlying truth: in this case, the reality of a physical universe in which objects are placed and can interact.
But that sense of access itself can really only be called a belief. And when "knowledge" is founded on beliefs, then I'd say at best it represents truth-in-context: the sun is shining ineffectually, and it's fucking cold out, at least in the context in which you experience what seems to be a physical universe, but not necessarily more than that.
