  Doesn’t the earth itself provide a significant amount of heat from the core? I’m sure I read somewhere that for something like every 10 meters down you dig, the temperature raises by 1° celcius. So maybe we’d not notice a temperature drop so quickly?

    The surface would eventually freeze over. But some life would almost definitely survive deep underground and underwater, near geothermal vents not unlike those that hosted the first lifeforms on Earth. And, maybe, in some billions or trillions of years, Earth would stray near another star system, get captured by its gravity and slowly thaw out, restarting the evolution of life.

    Not sure how quick exactly, but the earth doesn’t provide enough heat, not even close. I think Kurzgesagt has a video on this subject, pretty sure without the trillions of joules of energy showering the earth every second we’d get awfully cold awfully quick

  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 core is still hot. If we bury ourselves deep underground, there is a chance the humanity could survive for thousands of years without a sun. If not humanity, then some sort of life will survive long enough for future archeologists to find it millions of years later.

  But don’t quite me on this; I’m simply reciting from memory something I read in National Geographic or a similar publication 10-20 years ago. IDK how true this actually is.

  False; no sun = no morning!

  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.
