Not an expert. I've studied radio as a part of a radio hobby and some of it coincides. Just trying to help explain why we can't see the entire earth with radar. And radars are only pointed where a threat is likely. Unless there is a secret air base in Antarctica, we basically don't need to be worried about it.
