I believe we'd still be warm for those 8 minutes. We have an 8 minute grace period before having to do anything, then enough time to add sweaters faster than earth cools.
- I was forced to calculate the black body temperature and radiation for the Earth, back in college by hand.
  I decided for fun to zero out the sun from the equation to see what would happen.
  My math came out to about -32°C average surface temperature.
  Earth would become an ice planet.
  I think you'd uh, need a bit more than a sweater in those conditions 😅
  
  It's sweaters all the way down. You have time to order from China shipped by boat before -32C happens. You're just being a "save the sun" hippy climate alarmist /s. Energy company shareholders would benefit from high demand, so saving the sun is just selfish of you :P
  
  I'm just imagining you shuffling out wearing six layers of different colored sweaters on the frozen tundra surface, lmao
  
  I still like Bill Cosby. Fortunate that my mom always thought I should like sweaters and gifted me some.
  
  We're for the jobs the fossil fuels will provide.
  
  People live in those temperatures in places like remote Russia, right?

  So.
  The Antarctic. Roughly. Everywhere. Including the equator cuz that’s not a thing anymore.
  Are there any places that would be “warm” for any reason if you recall?
  Like, I assume the oceans would survive until the core stops and the planet truly dies?

  … so yes, the oceans could remain warm enough to harbor life still.
  
  Throw in a "rawr :3" while you're at it
- it's because light takes 8 minutes to get from the sun to us. and since gravity also travels at the speed of light our orbit would only change after 8 minutes.
