They used the sun, moon and five planets as the names of the seven days of the week, that is, the day of the sun (solar day) the day of the moon, the day of Mars, the day of Mercury, the day of Jupiter, the day of Venus, the day of Saturn. Later, the creative British named each day of the week after the god they believed in.
Sunday Sun's day: A day belonging to the sun. Nowadays, most countries in the world regard Sunday as the rest day of the week.
Monday Moon's day: The day that belongs to the moon.
