Some Fun Facts about Weeks

  • A week has 7 days because the Gregorian calendar follows the phases of the moon. Although the Moon takes 29.5 days to cycle through its phases, this is a hard number to base a time span on. It was the Babylons that rounded this cycle down to 28 days and divided into period units of 4, with 7 days each. This is why there are 4 weeks in a month.
  • In the English language, Saturday, Sunday and Monday are named after three of the planets considered to be gods - Saturn, Sun and Moon - while the other days are named after Germanic or Norse gods.
  • Although the international standard defines that the week starts on a Monday, in the United States the norm is still to count Sunday as the first day of the week.
