Hmmm,
I can't see that happening. If the sun turned off, there would be a gradual twilight. But I'm not a scientist.

It would get instantly dark.
The temperature would feel like it had dropped a big chunk instantly, like going from bright sunshine to shade, and then the rest of the heat would radiate away down to a baseline supported by decaying thorium in the earth's crust and the fuck-off amount of molten rock and metal inside the planet.

Not a clue.
People would be able to survive though, we have the technology. I remember reading a short story when I was a kid about people having to go out and fill buckets with frozen oxygen off the ground to replenish their air supply.

I would have thought those with access to self-contained nuclear-powered bunkers would last a while,
even with minimal warning.

Andy Mcnab would survive it.
He'd slot the bastard.

Bollocks.
The atmosphere, earth's surface and seas hold a fuckload of heat energy. Unless you mean, like, sunlight on your face, in which case yes.

Yes, that's what I mean, sorry.
