I’m Spanish all the days of the week are named after the planets, the moon and the Sun
Lunae Dies’ en honor a la diosa Luna, es lunes.
‘Marti Dies’, en honor al dios de la guerra, Marte, y es martes.
‘Mercurii Dies’, en honor al dios del comercio, es miércoles
‘Jovis Dies’, en honor a Júpiter, dios de dioses, es jueves.
‘Veneris Dies’, en honor a Venus, diosa del amor, es viernes.

Saturn is also how we get Saturday in English.
Wednesday comes from Woden’s Day, an alternative spelling of Odin’s Day.
Which leads us to Thor’s Day: Thursday.
I don’t know where we get from Mars to Tuesday and Venus to Friday though.

Tuesday and Friday are named for Tyr and Frigg, respectively.

Oh TYVM!
Tuesday is named after Týr (‘Týr’s day’), rather than Mars, in English and other Germanic languages

The English weekday name Friday (ultimately meaning ‘Frigg’s Day’) bears her name.
I can’t get over how cute the artist does the sun’s smirk
