Solar system days

Did you know the days of the week correspond to the names of the planets?

Some of the names of days don't make much sense in English. Knowing the planet's Latin name, or speaking a Romance language, can help you understand the names of days more easily. English has retained the planet names for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. However, the names for the other days of the week have been replaced by their equivalent Norse or Germanic gods.
