It is unlikely to happen, at least in my life time, which is a great comfort to me. But, as we and the other planets in our solar system orbit round the sun because of the sun's attraction, if the sun suddenly disappeared, there would be nothing to stop us being flung outwards into space.

What else can I help you with?

What is the link between the suns gravity and the motion of a planet?

The Sun's gravity causes a planet to move in its orbit. The Sun's gravity provides a centripetal force. The effects of the Sun's gravity, combined with the planet's inertia (tendency to move in a straight line), results in a planet's elliptical orbit.
