    Wouldn’t the planet rapidly start to cool? I think we’d be dead by morning

      Atmosphere would hold the heat for a bit, the real issues will begin with food shortages because the crops won’t grow

        Yeah but how long is a bit? Also, without the gravity center of our solar system, how long would it take for all the planets to start drifting off into the void?

          A bit - probably weeks to months. For the second question - 8 minutes for the Earth, since gravity propagates at the speed of light

      The moon also doesn’t emit it’s own light. It would take longer for the moon to “disappear” than it would for the sun but it wouldn’t be the whole night.
