Definition

A week is a period of seven days. It starts on Monday or Sunday depending on your location, and everyone agrees what those seven specific days are: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each day in the week has its own name. We use weeks to measure shorter time periods like how long it takes for something to happen quickly.
