    If the sun suddenly disappears. Space time curvature is slowly restored to a flat plane and, similar to an ocean wave, takes time to travel to the earth where the effects will be felt.

    and it takes approx 8 sec for suns light to reach earth .and if sun actually disappear it will be after 8 sec we would come to know that sun is missing not before that.
