Sunday orbited a bloated orange [[star]] one hundred [[Light-year|light years]] from Earth. The system contained at least two [[gas giant]]s and some asteroids. Sunday's rotation period was approximately twelve hours. It had .9 Earth normal gravity. Sunday had at least one [[moon]] that was orange due to the sun's light.

Sunday was almost entirely covered in a vast, unbroken ocean. A few islands of varying sizes lay on the equator. These islands were covered in large swamps, forests and a number of rivers. The forest closest to the [[human]] settlement of [[Sunday City]] was known as the Slim Forest. Sunday was a very warm and wet planet. It often rained and the sky was purple.

Sunday had a diverse ecosystem, somewhat akin to an [[Earth]] rainforest. The planet was home to [[Sundayan water pigeon|water pigeons]], [[Sundayan 'gator|'gators]], [[Sundayan otter|otters]] and a wide variety of [[Sundayan fish|fish]], to name but a few species of fauna. The [[Slim Forest]] also contained a variety of trees, including salt-trees. ([[ | Sunday had a diverse ecosystem, somewhat akin to an [[Earth]] rainforest.

However, three months before the arrival of the Doctor, the planet passed into the orbit of a recently destroyed asteroid. Most of the pieces of the fragment cloud burnt up in the atmosphere, but a few struck the surface. One struck the ocean, one kilometre from the shore and six kilometres from Sunday City. The resultant tidal wave raced up the river and struck the settlement, washing most of the buildings and the One Small Step away. More than half of the colonists died in the disaster. | However, three months before the arrival of the Doctor, the planet passed into the orbit of a recently destroyed asteroid.

Upon the arrival of the Doctor and [[Martha Jones]], they lent assistance to the colonists in dealing with the emerging threat of the Swamp Monster that had arrived on the asteroid.
