a day is a dependent variable hence depend on other factors
A dependent variable depends on the other factors while an independent variable does not depend on the other factors.
an independent variable is a thing you can change on your own. a depentent variable is a variable you depend on and a responding variable is a variable that reacts to the experiment
An independent variable is the factor that is manipulated by the experimenter in an effort to study the effects of the change upon the dependent variable.
The independent variable is one that does not depend on the other variable. A dependent variable "depends" on the other variable. Think about the distance traveled by a car over time. You have two variables in that, time and distance. Now think about which depends on the other. Does time depend on distance? No. Time will keep going even if the car stops. Does distance depend on time? Yes. The more time that goes on, the more distance is traveled. So distance is the dependent variable, because it depends on time. Time is the independent variable because it doesn't depend on distance.
