A continuous variable is one that can assume different values between each point. Put as an example (e.g when looking at height) one can assume a height of 178, 178.1, 178.2. . . 178.9. Thus continuous variables can be used when looking at time or length for example. Continuous variables will differ from discrete variables which assume a fixed value for example number of times you take a shower, how many cars you have or how many kids in a family. Values can not be specified as decimals (e.g. you can not have 1.2 cars or 2.7 kids in a family).
