Continous variable: Characterised by being related to some numerical scale of measurement, any interval of which may, if desired, be subdivided into an infinite number of values, e.g. length, height, weight, temperature, volume, time.

Discrete and Continuous Variables
Variables such as number of children in a household are called discrete variables.
Definition 5: Discrete variable
Variable with possible scores of discrete points on the scale.
Example
A household could have three children or six children, but not 4.53 children.
Other variables such as "time to respond to a question" are continuous variables.
Definition 6: Continous variable
Variable where the scale is continuous and not made up of discrete steps.
Example
The response time could be 1.64 seconds, or it could be 1.64237123922121 seconds.

A variable which is not constrained to assume only certain fixed values over its range but, instead, can assume an infinity of different values.
