Seven heavenly objects

The Seven heavenly objects are the bright objects in the sky which can be seen with the naked eye from anywhere on the Earth: the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, the Sun, and Moon

The days of the week are named after them in many cultures. They were sometimes considered to be living beings, and myths were created concerning how they came to be, and what they were supposed to be like, based on their movements in the sky, their physical characteristics, and the supposed influences they have on our planet and its inhabitants.
