How long could you block all sunlight to earth before causing permanent climate changes ?

Does your sunlight blocker also block/reflect light leaving the earth? If so, probably until plants die and we starve to death. As long as light is blocked both ways, cooling would take quite a while

That was a pretty good episode (S01E10, aired November 17, 1961) of the Twilight Zone.

>all sunlight

Probably not long at all. You could estimate the amount of time it would take all the latent energy to leave the system or some approach like that.

Most vegetation would be irreparably harmed after a few minutes below some relative threshold, which I would imagine would not take long to hit if zero solar inputs were made.

Both of these events have nonzero solar inputs.

Is moonlight especially during overcast conditions really that meaningful?
