if you ever feel like uttering the phrase “ow my horn” please let me know so that I can hurry to the nearest nuclear fallout shelter.
That means it takes 8 minutes for the light from the Sun to reach the Earth, meaning it’ll be about 8 minutes before she actually sees results.
Unless Magic.
It isn’t that big a concern. Sure, tidal patterns would be affected, but it wouldn’t be an instantaneous, dramatic change. Gravity takes time to have an effect, and moving the sun won’t do anything about the momentum of Earth’s water, so there would be a several-day-long transition period rather than one big shift. Furthermore, if the sun’s mass and distance from Earth are unaffected, the new tidal patterns wouldn’t be that different from existing ones - they’d happen at different times due to the different relative positions of the sun and moon, but it’d be nothing we don’t see already. You should only be worried if something really weird has happened to the sun (say, it’s been made twice as big and moved fifty million kilometres closer), and in those cases, tidal forces are probably the least of your concerns.
