I knew English names were the Nordic gods but I didn't now they equated to the Roman gods/planets. TIL

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.

Isn't Earth Day the day when technically all of earths renewable resources for the year are used up, as a symbol of how unsustainable or consumption is?
