Would someone check the below sentences, and tell me whether or not they are grammatically OK?

There are 7 days in a week.
A week has 7 days.
7 days is a week.

A week is 7 days.
7 days are a week.

Thank you in advance,

Yoshio
 
The first two are fine.
 
Additionally, I would accept "A week is seven days" although it is not as natural as the first two.
 
Seven days constitute a week.
 
Thank you all for useful information.
So the following two are not right.

Seven days is a week.
Seven days are a week.

Thank you again for your help. I really appreciate it.
