📊 Radar Horizon Formula
d = √(2Rh₁) + √(2Rh₂)
Where d is radar horizon, R is Earth radius, h₁,h₂ are antenna heights

💡 Tips & Information
- Radar horizon limited by Earth's curvature
- Higher antennas increase detection range
- Standard atmosphere: R = 4/3 Earth radius
- Microwave frequencies have longer range
- Consider atmospheric refraction effects
