Hora (planetary hours)
The day and the night are each split into twelve horas, starting at sunrise, and each hora is ruled by a planet. Day horas share out the daylight and night horas the darkness, so in summer a day hora is longer than an hour. The first hora of each day belongs to that day's planet, which is where the weekday names come from.
