How does radar detect something that we can't see?

In this video, we break down the basic science behind radar systems, from sending out radio waves and waiting for echoes to measuring distance, direction, and movement. We’ll also look at how Doppler effects and computer processing turn tiny returning signals into the information we see on a radar screen.
