Why do the months of a year have different lengths?

Original calendars measured the year by dividing it into months. That number of days was based on the cycle of the Moon, which lasts about 29 and one-half days. Months in different cultures ranged from 28 to 31 days, As the year, based on the Sun, is about 365 days, the months could not all have the same number of days. 365 is not divisible by 28, 29, 30, or 31, so naturally some months had to have different amounts of days. Different cultures came up with different ways of naming their months and giving them their lengths.

Which Norse gods are named after the days of the week?

The days of the week according to the bible are on the first day or day one, the 2nd day or day two etc until the 7th day or the sabbath which is the only day with a "Name." The other days are simply numbers or numbered. In English, the days of the week as the months of the year are named after pagan gods and roman emperors. Sun day, Moon day, Tues day, wedens day, thor's day, frias day, Saturn's day are the answers to the entire week and the specific answer to your question then would be fria, tues, weden or oden, and thor,. who are all Norse. the months of the year were mostly roman gods or planets or emperors although originally greek, and obviously out of order, Jan-janus, march- mars, may, July-Julius, august-Augustus Caesar, sept(9) oct(9) nov(9) dec(10) so if December is the 10th month how come it is all of a sudden the 12th month? as you can see the early roman calendar had some serious issues and conflicts with both cristianity and common sense.
