Yes, the tidal effect of the sun would disappear, and that would probably make the oceans all fucky suddenly (after an 8 minutes lag).

Does gravity travel at the speed of light?
Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Of course. It can’t travel faster
cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Yes. General relativity.

The gravity does travel, the gravity is.

If it didn’t travel, it wouldn’t take 8 minutes to stop right?

If the mass vanishes, then the gravity would also vanish, at the same time.
