A week is a familiar unit of time, consisting of seven days.
While we commonly think of it as just seven calendar days, it can also be measured as 168 hours, 10,080 minutes, or 604,800 seconds.
The concept of a seven-day week is one of the oldest and most consistent timekeeping methods in human history.
Have you ever wondered why a week has exactly seven days?
The tradition dates back thousands of years to the ancient Babylonians. They were skilled astronomers who observed seven celestial bodies moving through the night sky: The Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.
Believing the number seven held special significance, they structured their calendar in seven-day cycles to honor these celestial bodies.
This system was so practical that it was adopted by neighboring cultures, including the Greeks and Romans, and eventually spread worldwide, becoming the global standard we use today.
While a week is always seven days long, the day it officially begins depends on the time zone in which you are located.
