An hour is a unit of time, equal to 60 minutes, 3600 seconds, or 1/24 of a day. Abbreviated Russian designation: h, international: h. The word “hour” comes from the verb “chayati”, which means “to wait”.
A week is a unit of time equal to seven days (days). Abbreviated Russian designation: week, in English – wk. It consists of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The calendar week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Translated from ancient Greek, “week” means “non-working day” or “holiday”.
The combination of seven days into one week is associated with the period of revolution of the Moon around the Earth, which is known to be approximately 28 days. 28 was divided by 4, by the number of moon phases available (new moon, waxing moon, full moon, waning moon), resulting in 7 days.
