It's not. The day called "Friday" is the sixth day of the week. The seven day week has no basis in a solar calendar. The seven day week has its origins in the ancient lunar calendars of the Ancient Near East. Our solar calendar's use of the weekly seven day cycle is a left-over from those ancient lunar calendars.
False. Saturday is the name given to the seventh day of the seven day weekly cycle, the same weekly cycle used in the lunar calendar used by Judaism. The seventh day of the week always falls on the seventh day of the week, and the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week.
The very concept of the week, a cycle of seven days, is based upon the lunar phases. It doesn't matter if you use the Gregorian Calendar or the Jewish Calendar, the days of the week are the same.
As I am typing this, it is the second day of the week, Monday. Right now, in the same timezone, it is also the second day of the week on the Jewish calendar. Because it's the same week.
There's no such thing as a "solar week". Searching for "solar week" on Google results in fun weeks of the year set aside for teaching fun sun science facts. So could you explain where you're getting this idea of a "solar week" from?

I think you need to look up the origin of the modern names of the days of the week. There is NO WAY, the ancient Jews, used those names in their calendar.
