What was the effect on the Earth's orbital path when the Suns mass was doubled and why

Answer: im putting my answer in explanation

Explanation: Essentially, an increase in mass means an increase in gravity, while a decrease in mass means a decrease in gravity. So if the Sun spontaneously lost half its mass (gasp, shudder, the horror!) then its gravitational pull on Earth would lessen as well, ultimately changing the very nature of our orbit around the Sun.
