It refers to and is a property of anything which remains the same. It is a term used in mathematics, mechanics etc for example:
In science, a constant is a measurement, usually in an experiment, that never changes. It is used to compare and/or contrast the values of other variables in the same situation.

Constant in science means something that cannot change.
Constant and True is the Clan Rose Family Motto found on the Clan Rose Family Crest. It is not that the Clan nor its family is constant and true, but being founded on Christian Beliefs, it is our Lord and Savior Jesus who is Constant and True.

Hi Michael Rose,
It's actually Kilravock Castle (pronounced 'Kilrawk') is a traditional Scottish castle, the Tower being built in 1460. It's beautiful, you should check it out.

I disagree with the earlier answer (agree with Lulu Beatson below).
"continuous" is irrelevant. A constant is a number or letter whose value, in a particular context, remains the same. The equation of a straight line (in 2-dimensions) can be written in the form ax + by + c = 0 where a, b and c are constants. a and b do not stand alone, as suggested above. For a given line, a, b and c are constants but another set of constants will give a different line - this is what is implied by the "context".
A constant has the same value no matter where and whenever used as for example the value of pi in a circle remains the same whatever the size of the circle.
Happening all the time ... continuous. Continually occurring; persistent; without interruption
Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment and when it comes to living organisms, it can mean the maintenance of a constant temperature, pH, and chemical concentration.
Yes, the solar constant affects temperature by determining the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth's atmosphere. A higher solar constant can lead to an increase in temperature, while a lower solar constant can result in cooler temperatures.
The temperature and pressure.
Temperature and the amount of gas (moles) must be kept constant for Boyle's law to hold true. This means the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional provided the temperature and amount of gas remain constant.
pKa (dissociation constant) is variable with temperature.
