Answer 2

Radar was NOT invented to detect weather. Among its' first uses was during World War II. Radar units in England (United Kingdom / Great Britain) were able to get advance warning of n**i air strikes during the Battle of Britain. They noticed that when it rained the radar screens were covered in a gray haze and planes could not be detected! While scientists tried to get around the problem, weather forecasters quickly saw the advantages of the new invention! Weather radar was born!
