Years of experience is considered a continuous variable because it can take on an infinite number of values within a given range. For example, someone can have 3.5 years, 3.75 years, or any other fractional amount of experience, reflecting a measurement that can be divided into smaller increments. This allows for a more precise representation of experience compared to discrete variables, which can only take on whole numbers.
continuous discrete
It is a continuous variable.
Yes. It is a continuous variable. As used in probability theory, it is an example of a continuous random variable.
No, Patient's gender is not a continuous variable. It is discrete variable.
No, it is a continuous process but not a continuous variable. The magnitude of star-shine, across all stars is a continuous variable. The magnitude of a star's shine over time is a continuous variable.

Not continuous => Discrete variable. Continuous => Continuous variable.
ocean depth is a continuous or discrete variable?
Absorbance is considered a continuous variable.
Both. It is correct to consider age as a continuous variable, but we collect data on people's ages as if they were discrete variables. Age is generally given in years, at least in humans. When we round off our numbers, we make age a discrete variable. We say a person turns 21 as if one day he's 20 years old and the next day he's 21 years old. This is the way we treat age as a discrete variable. If we considered age as a continuous variable, we would say he is 20.99 years old a day before his birthday and exactly 21 years old only on his birthday, on the exact time of his birth. After that he is 21.001 years old.
Continuous variables have an unlimited number of possibilities between two points. In the scientific realm, age is a continuous variable.
