 A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing 
in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not 
very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby 
planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one 
shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of 
the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves 
travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a 
short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off 
objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained 
technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word 
“radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. “Ranging” is the term 
for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical 
importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for 
tracking weather systems and storms.
