'''Sunday''' was an [[Earth]] colony [[planet]] upon which the [[Tenth Doctor]] encountered the [[swamp monster]].

Sunday orbited a bloated [[orange (colour)|orange]] [[star]] one hundred [[light-year]]s from [[Earth]]. The system contained at least two [[gas giant]]s and some [[asteroid]]s. 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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wetworld]]'')

Sunday was almost entirely covered in a vast, unbroken [[ocean]]. A few [[island]]s of varying sizes lay on the [[equator]]. These islands were covered in large [[swamp]]s, [[forest]]s and a number of [[river]]s. 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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wetworld]]'')

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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wetworld]]'')

The planet was first colonised by humans on a Sunday in the year [[2107]] by 800 colonists from Earth. The colony was established as part of the [[First Wave (Wetworld)|First Wave]] of human colonisation. They launched from the spaceport in [[Mbandaka]] in the [[Democratic Republic of Congo]] in a [[World-Builder|mark II world-builder]] called the [[One Small Step]]. They established [[Sunday City]] along the banks of a river and prepared for the next group of colonists.
