"The horizon controls..."
Yes, it's called the LINE OF SIGHT, you idiot.
.
All radio and microwaves travel in STRAIGHT LINES (no curve, DUH).
.
Therefore, the reach of ANY radar system is limited BY THE HORIZON and THE POWER OF THE SIGNAL.
.
The horizon is due to the law of perspective from the LINE OF SIGHT and POSITION of the source signal.
.
You should have paid better attention when the Law of Perspective was being explained to you by the flat earthers.
.
Cell towers, etc. actually have very limited reach: hence, the reason why there are SO MANY OF THEM. You have to send the signal from tower to tower.
.
Why do you think RADIO towers are SO TALL and sit ATOP MOUNTAINS?
.
.
SO they can get a longer line of sight on the horizon and transmit a greater distance.
