Radar
Radar, short for Radio Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects. It works by sending out a radio signal that bounces off objects such as planes, ships, or weather formations. The radar system measures the time it takes for the signal to return, allowing it to calculate the distance to the object. It also analyzes the frequency of the returned signal to determine the object's speed and direction. Radar is widely used in aviation, maritime navigation, weather forecasting, and defense systems, providing critical information for safety and monitoring.

RADAR, which stands for Radio Detection and Ranging, is a technology that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects, such as airplanes or ships. It works by sending out a signal that bounces off objects and returns to the source. By measuring the time it takes for the signal to return, RADAR can determine the distance and speed of the object. It's widely used in aviation for air traffic control, in weather forecasting to track storms, and in military applications for surveillance and targeting. Essentially, RADAR helps us "see" things that are far away or obscured.
