Answer 1

Throw a ball at a wall and it is going to come right back to you. Throw a ball at [this thing](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/25/5f/4c/255f4cc45fc642d4fbfa147008c66977.jpg) and there is a very low chance it comes back to you.

Radar requires things to bounce off the plane and come back to you.
