Default Audio Interconnect cable Performance - is Return Wire Diameter a Factor?

If our Sun winked out of existence tomorrow, how long would it take for
our planet to cease circling where our Sun once was?


That would be as soon as the gravity wave ceased - which would also be largely instantaneous. Objects in orbit are not truly "in orbit", but in Free Fall. The earth would travel in that direction on the arc that it was on when the sun went away - with minor perturbations from the other objects in the former solar system.
