What If The Sun Disappeared?

What if the Sun just poof vanished? Let’s imagine that, like your favorite toy suddenly disappearing from your room.

The Earth would keep moving, but it wouldn’t have the Sun to light up its day. It’d be like you’re swinging on a swing, and then the person pushing you stops, you'd still swing a bit, but not for long.

At first, we'd get super cold. The Sun warms our planet, so without it, everything would slowly freeze over time, just like how your juice box gets colder when you take it out of the fridge.

It takes about 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth. So if the Sun disappeared right now, we'd still see it shining for another 8 minutes, but after that, everything would start getting darker and colder, like turning off a light in a big room full of people.
