Why there is 7 days in a week and 365 days in a year and 24 hour in a day?

7 days in a week . . .
Made up by people;
most likely, I believe, based on concepts from The Bible.
365 days in a year . . .
A natural feature of the observable universe.
If you watch the stars every night at Midnight, or keep track of the Sun's
position every day at Noon, or keep track of the seasons, you discover
that everything rotates in a cycle of 365 days, because the Earth spins
365 times in the time it takes to travel all the way around the Sun once.
24 hours in a day . . .
Made up by people, just like 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute.
All made up by people.
24 is a convenient number, because you can take 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8,
or 1/12 of it without cutting up any hours.
Similarly, 60 is a convenient number to work with, because you can take 1/2, 1/3,
1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/10, 1/12, 1/15, 1/20, or 1/30 of it without cutting up anything.
