We wouldn’t know for about 8 minutes or so, depending on where we are in our orbit around the Sun. This, of course, can vary because the Earth’s orbit is elliptical, not circular. This means that our distance from the Sun can vary by a few million miles during each orbit! Consequently, the time between the event and our finding out about it will vary by a little bit.

Once we see that the Sun has been stolen/falls into a wormhole/vanished/whatever the cause, the Earth will no longer be orbiting the Sun and will immediately move in a straight line instead of the elliptical line around the Sun. You can see the same effect if you sling something around you on a rope and then you suddenly let go of the rope.

Fortunately, we know this won’t happen… because we’ve not observed it happening anywhere else in the universe. Suns/stars don’t just disappear from the universe. Despite what certain sci-fi movies would have you believe, try-lithium crystals will not cause the fusion engines of stars to just suddenly shut down, nor can anyone steal our Sun. By the time our Sun does move into the red-giant phase of its life, some billions of years from now, we’ll be long gone, for no species lasts that long!

There are many misconceptions present about the eclipse like a woman should not watch eclipse if she's pregnant because it can harm her baby. In the same way, another one states that eclipses indicate that something very bad is about to happen.

The solar eclipse doesn't for tell the major life changes. So people should only consider them it's a natural process and should not link it with the above-mentioned illusions.

Sometimes when the moon orbits Earth, it moves between the sun and Earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the sun, or solar eclipse.

Partial Solar eclipse: When the solar disc is partially covered by the Moon.

There are four types of solar eclipses: total, partial, annual and hybrid. Total solar eclipses happen when the sun is completely blocked by the moon.
