FROM THE ISSUE

If the Sun suddenly disappeared, it would take about eight minutes for Earth to become dark (due to the speed of light). How long would it take to feel the absence of the Sunт??s gravity?

According to Albert Einsteinт??s general theory of relativity, if the Sun were to suddenly disappear, Earth would feel the absence of the Sunт??s gravity in the same time it would take for it to т??feelт?? the absence of the Sunт??s light. So, about eight minutes.
