To my knowledge, it would be the day.

one year: earth revolves around the sun

one month: moon revolution around the earth

one day: the earth rotation about its axis

However, nothing above indicates what day of the week it is; you can tell when a day has passed, but not what day of the week is.

Hope this helps!
