If you lose internet connectivity would, can that force-close a Lightning channel? Or would the node simply be offline..?

It doesn’t force close a channel. Force closure happens when one of the two parties initiate it. The exposure would be if you drop offline and your channel counterparty force closes with an inaccurate balance and you being offline. This is why it’s good to set up a watchtower for protection
Thank you for the clarification 🙏
No, your channel can be offline indefinitely. The other party can force close while you’re down, though.
