Wednesday.
Seven days in a week is more generally used than seven days in the week, except if in reference to a specific week such as 'the seven days in the week' when referring to a specific week, such as the week before Christmas.
There are 7 days in a week and there is 4 weeks in a month
Tuesday, or Tyrsdag, is Tyr's day.
The situation is actually the other way around - the days of the week were named for the gods, the gods were not named for the days of the week.

Both "what days of the week" and "which days of the week" are correct; however, "which days of the week" is typically used when the choices are limited, while "what days of the week" is more open-ended.
5 days is one work week, but there are 7 days in a week.
