Week

A week is a unit of time consisting of 7 days. It is commonly used to organize time into a repeating cycle of days for scheduling purposes, such as work weeks, school weeks, and personal activities.

Origin:

The concept of a seven-day week has ancient origins and is believed to be rooted in the Babylonian system, which was influenced by the lunar calendar. The Babylonians observed the cycles of the moon, which led them to divide the month into roughly four weeks, each containing 7 days. This structure was later adopted by other civilizations, including the Jews, whose religious practices also contributed to the widespread use of the seven-day week. The seven-day week became widely established across cultures due to religious, astronomical, and historical factors, and it was adopted by the Roman Empire and spread throughout much of the world. Today, the seven-day week is used internationally in both secular and religious contexts.

Century

A century is a unit of time equal to 100 years. It is commonly used to refer to a period of 100 years in history, often to describe significant cultural, historical, or societal changes over a long span of time.

Origin:

The word "century" comes from the Latin word "centuria", meaning a group of 100. The concept of dividing time into centuries has roots in the Roman system of organizing time and military units. The idea of measuring time in centuries became more formalized during the Middle Ages, as historians began to structure history into manageable periods for recording and analysis. By the time of the Gregorian calendar, the century became a standard way to refer to a 100-year span, often used to discuss developments in history, such as "the 19th century" or "the 21st century." The century is now a common unit used in various fields like history, economics, and demographics.
