The #DaysOfTheWeek were named-after the #Planets (back when #Planet defined The Sun & The Moon, and we couldn't see past Saturn) | @TimeAndDate explains || @Microsoft
So I wondered, 'Why are there seven days in a week?' And Microsoft led me to TimeAndDate's explanation.
TimeAndDate's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Planet” is built on ancient words that mean "|Wandering Stars" (because they were celestial bodies whose position was less-fixed than the positions of the brighter celestial bodies).

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
