Explanation:

A nominal variable is one where usually a name is attached to it, instead of a number. Something like "mood" is nominal because it takes on the options of "happy", "sad", "angry", etc which are all non-numeric names. We can't do math on them. The same goes for colors, blood type, dog breed, nationality, and month names.

An ordinal variable is one where we can rank the names but we can't exactly do math on them. An example of this would be pain severity (from "no pain" to "in extreme pain") since we can rank and order the pain levels in a natural order. Another example is satisfcation rating, rank in class, and clothing sizes.

A discrete variable is one that takes on finitely many values between two endpoints. Usually (but not always) discrete values are whole numbers. When it comes to counting the number of people or objects, we turn to a discrete variable. With discrete variables, it doesn't make sense to have a midpoint between say 1 and 2 because we cannot have 1.5 of a person.

A continouous variable is one where we can pick any real number in a given interval. Midpoints make sense here now because we can select the midpoint of say 1 and 2 to get 1.5; an example of a continuous variable is someone's height, wind speed, water temperature, or the voltage of electricity.
