With names traceable to the seven “classical” planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, & Moon, the seven days of the week include Monday, named for our precious Moon. Now guess who in the universe Saturday & Sunday are named after. — PolitiTweet.org

In case you’ve ever wondered, our Moon is not nameless in the universe. Its official Latin term is LUNA. And for the rest of us: Earth = TERRA. Sun = SOL — PolitiTweet.org

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday are named for the Norse Gods: Tiw, Woden, Thor (yes, Thor) & Frigga. But if you reference those days in any Romance language you recover their Classical planet names. — PolitiTweet.org
