We are thinking of going to see Ravena’s mosaics on a Sunday or Monday. Sat is our only other option. Any reason to go on particular day? Any closings? Thanks!

According to the official website, the mosaics are open every day - see https://www.ravennamosaici.it/en/entrance-time-and-prices/ for full information.
If you have time, also visit St Appolinare in Classe, in the countryside a few kilometers outside of Ravenna https://info.ravennantica.it/selection/timeslotpass?productId=10228213489700>mStepTracking=true. To me, it was the most impressive of all.

If you're daytripping to Ravenna, you won't have time for much more than the seven key mosaic sites (that's including St. Apollinaire in Classe), a brief look at the historic center and lunch, so I don't think it will really matter that some of the city's points of interest are closed on Sunday and/or Monday.
My notes for my September 2022 trip to Ravenna indicate these closures (which of course may have changed in the meantime, or may vary by month):
- Museo d'Arte della Citta (sometimes exhibits contemporary mosaics) - closed Sun and Mon.
- Cripta Rasponi - closed Mon.
- Museo Dante - closed Mon. (I haven't seen this.)
- Museo Nazionale - closed Mon and some Sun.
