On Sunday, we usually go on an outing with the whole family.
The word 'Sonntag' (Sunday) is made up of 'Sonne' (sun) and 'Tag' (day). It literally means 'day of the sun', just like in English.
Der Sonntag ist für viele der schönste Tag der Woche.
Sunday is the nicest day of the week for many people.
Use 'am Sonntag' (on Sunday) when you are talking about a specific Sunday. Use the adverb 'sonntags' (written lowercase) to describe a regular action that happens every Sunday.
Am Sonntag gehen wir ins Kino.
On Sunday, we're going to the movies.
In combination with 'jeden' (every), 'diesen' (this), 'nächsten' (next), or 'letzten' (last), 'Sonntag' (Sunday) is used without a preposition. Don't say 'an diesem Sonntag', but just 'diesen Sonntag' (this Sunday).
Nächsten Sonntag besuchen wir meine Großeltern.
Next Sunday, we're visiting my grandparents.

Der Sonntag refers to a single day of the week. sonntags, on the other hand, describes something that happens regularly every Sunday. Use der Sonntag for a specific day and sonntags when you mean a repeated habit.
Diesen Sonntag besucht meine Schwester ihre Eltern.

Sonntags besucht meine Schwester ihre Eltern.
