The days of the week were named in different languages after classical planets, various deities and heavenly bodies and other sources.In English, the names are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The term "week" is sometimes expanded to refer to other time units comprising a few days, such as the nundinal cycle of the ancient Roman calendar.
A week is defined as an interval of exactly seven days, so that technically, except at daylight saving time transitions or leap seconds,
1 week = 7 days = 168 hours = 10,080 minutes = 604,800 seconds.
