gravity - How much would you weigh if Earth stopped orbiting the Sun?

In a sense, this is one of those "If I break the laws of physics, what do the laws of physics say will happen" kinds of questions.

Ignoring that, a 150 pound person would still weigh about 150 pounds if the Earth miraculously stopped orbiting the Sun. Almost all of a person's weight results from resistance to the Earth's gravity field. The tidal gravitational forces from the Moon and Sun are on the order of 10^-4 ounces of force.

Note: I'm answering the question from the perspective of "what would a bathroom scale say". A doctor's scale would say a 150 pound person weighs 150 pounds regardless of whether the person is standing on the Moon, the Earth, or a very massive planet. A doctor's scale measures mass. A bathroom scale measures apparent weight.

So what would a bathroom scale say? If the Earth is at one astronomical unit from the Sun, whether the Earth is orbiting at 30 km/s or falling straight toward the Sun doesn't matter one iota. All that matters is that the Earth is one AU from the Sun. In both cases, that the Sun is 1 AU distant makes a 150 pound person weigh about $1.8 times 10^-4$ ounces less at noon or at midnight than at sunrise or sunset.

The difference between the orbiting Earth and the in-falling Earth is that these tidal forces are more or less constant in the case of the orbiting Earth. They grow ever larger in the case of the in-falling Earth as it gets closer and closer to the Sun.

These tidal forces become quite large by the time the surface of the Earth just touches the surface of the Sun. Now our 150 pound person would weigh only 73.5 pounds per a bathroom scale if he was standing at that point where the surface of the Earth just touches the Sun. He would also weigh about the same at the point on the Earth furthest from the Sun. He would however weigh considerably more, about 188 pounds, if he happens to be at a point where the Sun is on the horizon.

If, on the other hand, some mysterious, magical force makes the Earth stop orbiting the Sun and makes this change permanent (i.e., the Earth stops moving with respect to the Sun), a 150 pound person closest to the Sun would weigh about 1.4 ounces less, while a 150 pound person furthest from the Sun would weigh about 1.4 ounces more. A 150 pound person who sees the Sun at the horizon would still weigh about 150 pounds in this scenario.
