Probably a few days max. At night we are deprived of the sun and the temperature drops, though not completely. Without the sun, the temperature would probably drop at the same rate, but there would be no sun to raise the temperature back up. Because of our atmosphere, the earth wouldn't instantaneously freeze, it would eventually freeze. But we'd all die soon either way. Why, what are you planning on doing with the sun??

I believe it of course would happen immediately.
the sun would die or what have you.
darkness would cover the earth
people / animals / plants would freeze
nuclier power would survive us for a while but without forethought, we would not be able to maintain it.
with the plants gone, we would not feed the animals unless we have hot houses large enough to grow all of the grain needed to feed the animals that feed us as well as grains for us as well, where would we build them?
the fish also need the sun for oxygen purposes and if no sun, not all fish would survive so the chain reaction would kill off it predators and so on.
I don't think it would be instantanous but I think, depending on how advanced in the backup we have we would last more than a year.

Oh about 20 minutes. In 8 minutes we'd notice the sun went out and in about another 10 minutes the atmosphere would liquefy and we'd all be automatically enrolled in a free cryonics preservation plan.
The only life present would be that near hot springs and hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor.So, life would never totally perish, it would just be a little less interesting on the taxonomic scale.

In concept (and assuming you're actually not fussy approximately what's inhabiting the planet) some thing like 25,000,000km closer. i'm undecided i could want to stay right here, yet micro organism etc would desire to be ok. the truly mechanics is a lot extra complicated because of the fact we don't understand how the climate could respond to a minimum of certainly one of those replace.

The last rays of light would hit the Earth in about 8.33 seconds After that hits, the world will freeze quickly.

about 8 minutes... thats the amount of time it takes light from the sun to reach earth...
without the sun's gravirty we would fly off into space.. with no atmosphere.. we would stop spinning and that would be that... nothing would keep air on earth... we would... just die..

I would think that the Earth would freeze almost instantly.

A matter of days.
For a few (million) humans with some stored energy, a few weeks.

A week I would say.. as it will have affects on every living being and then slowly life will disintegrate. Thanks!
