I really doubt we would notice, because if so we would already be feeling different during day and night. The sun pulls us toward the sky during the daytime and toward the ground at night. Also toward the east at sunrise and the west at sunset. But none of this seems noticeable.

We are in "free fall" around the Sun so that's why we don't feel its pull of gravity.

You would similarly feel weightless if you were in an orbit around Earth.
