is monday before or after friday? because if it's friday, you know monday comes after today (which is hypothetically friday), but on a calendar, it says it comes before... is it like an endless circle of days? like the cycle of the week lol

  1. when you think about, days, months and years are just a figment of the imagination.


  2. as far as a physical and numerical day in comparison to the other, monday would come before and then after an average friday. as far as simply listing the days and/or placing them on a calendar, monday tends to be the first day of the week (in spite of many calendars placing sunday at the head of the week).

  3. monday is before friday.oh yeah it is like a endless circulation of hypothetically days in a week it's scientifical i hope that isn't too much information.

  4. It goes in order Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. That's the order but it's just a cycle because it goes round and round never to end. But, Monday DOES come before Friday. You learn that in elementary school babe.

  5. Yes, it is endless. We just have days of weeks to separate out the time. Sometimes, store front signs will say something like open Friday- Monday, which means Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Other times, a sign might say open Friday- Monday. This means Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Understand?

  6. Monday always comes before Friday. But Saturday and sunday are a different question. In some spanish speaking countries, the week starts with monday, instead of sunday like it is here.  

  7. The Gregorian calendar (the one most countries run on) has the week starting on Sunday.  Other calendars and certain cultures have the week start on Monday, so it just depends on your culture and the calendar you follow.

    And yes, charted time (days, weeks, months, years) is cyclical and just repeats itself.  Some calendars are made for tracking seasons for planting crops, others follow the movement of the sun, others follow the movement of the moon, and then some aren't even physically based and follow consciousness, like the Maya calendar.

    The Gregorian (Monday, Tuesday.. January, February...) calendar is based off the sun's movements - which is why we have a leap year every 4 years because the Earth's orbit is slowly decaying and we need to adjust for it with charted time.

  8. technically Sunday is the first day of the week, but in reality its and endless cycle.

  9. ahhhhh....the endless cycle! lol!!  really, from the way that u put it, both!!
