most calculators are powered by solar energy but some are powered by batteries
Solar power, ie, the sun.
Solar calculators use a photovoltaic cell (solar cell) to convert light energy from the sun into electrical energy. The solar cell generates a direct current (DC) when sunlight hits it, which powers the calculator.
In a solar calculator, the energy transformation that occurs involves converting light energy from the sun into electrical energy through the use of photovoltaic cells. The photovoltaic cells, also known as solar cells, capture sunlight and generate an electric current, which powers the calculator.
Solar cells capture the energy in light and use it to power the calculator.
Yes, many calculators use solar energy, but not from satellites. There is a tiny solar panel on the calculator. Cover it up with your finger and you'll see the calculator stop working.
No, solar energy for calculators is typically harnessed using small solar cells built into the calculator. Solar satellites, on the other hand, are used to capture solar energy in space and then convert it into electricity for use on Earth, often on a larger scale for powering homes and buildings.

Solar power
No the sun does not move. It takes in light energy from the sun which is converted to chemical and then to electrical energy (I think?)
solar cells
A calculator typically uses battery power as its energy source. The batteries provide the electrical energy needed to power the calculator's circuitry and display screen. Some calculators can also be solar-powered, using light energy to generate electricity for operation.
