What if... the sun goes oput?
It depends? Years ago I read a science fiction story where scientists declared that the Sun must be extinguished for 24 hours, because reasons. Of course, the Sun fails to reignite. Maybe that was the story that had the last guy thawing out liquid oxygen over a campfire. But that might have been the one where the Sun lost it's gravity and the Earth slingshot out of the Solar system.



Antipodal tsunamis followed by no more seasons. Else it explodes and that's worst.
