My guess is that the information of its disappearance will travel towards Earth at, or below, the light's speed (i.e. max speed for any physical quantity) and when it reaches Earth, the path of Earth motion becomes almost linear from that moment on.

  Actually it can crush the Earth into pieces because parts of the Earth closer to the absent Sun's position will begin moving linearly while the rest of the Earth still continues on the usual orbit. So a crushing of Earth into itself will take place for a couple of seconds or so.
 

This could actually be one of the sources of earthquakes on Earth. When Sun quickly gives off huge masses in some of its storms, the resulting change in gravity will hit the closer parts of the Earth first before traveling through its diameter. So parts of the earth crashes against itself as the tiny change of the orbit passes through the entire mass of Earth.
Would be nice to see an article about that.
