A variable defined on a continuous interval as opposed to one that can take only discrete values.
A 1-dimensional interval (a, b) is continuous if for any k in (0, 1) the point a + k*(b-a) = a*(1-k) + k*b is also in the interval. This is equivalent to the statement that every point on the line joining a and b is in the interval. The above can be extended to more dimensions analogously.
Yes, it is a Continuous variable measured along an equidistant scale.
The linear discrete time interval is used in the interpretation of continuous time and discrete valued: Quantized signal.
Yes it is because it is a measurement of something usually entering into decimal figures and cannot be simply counted.
