All plant life on earth would die, a result of the sun passing energy in the form of light energy. Plants consume light energy and grow, through photosynthesis.

If the suns energy no longer reached earth, the plants would not be able to photosynthesize any longer. So they would likely die. Also, it would be really cold.
