There is little or no similarity.
A radar is active (it radiates energy).
A telescope is passive (It relys on incoming energy)
The only thing I can think of, is that you point both towards an object and get some sort of information from it.

How is a radio telescope similar to a refracting telescope and a reflecting telescope?
They all collect and focus light and other forms of electromagnetic radation.
What questions does a ray diagram answer?
A ray diagram would answer questions on lenses in a telescope or similar instrument
How are your eyes similar to a telescope and how are they different?
Your eyes are actually much more similar to binoculars than they are to a telescope, in that binoculars give one stereoscopic vision, like the human eyes do. But all binoculars magnify, and many have zoom magnification - the human eyes adjusts only for "basically close" and "basically far away".

What advantage does a radio telescope have over a optical telescope?
They function on entirely different principles. it is like asking what advantages does a parabolic sound detector ( a common spy device that looks like, but is not radar oriented) have over a pair of binoculars. one records sound or radio wavelengths, the other visual images. They have totally different applications one has a telescope operator as an observer, visually observing targets but the radio-telescope operator is merely a monitor. the analogy with radar is good as they are a derivative of Radio Direction and Ranging, hence RADAR,
Did Bismark have radar?
Bismarck certainly had radar but it may only have been gunnery radar similar to that on the Graf Spee in 1939.
What are binoculars similar to?

What intrument is the human eye most similar to?
telescope
What is ultrasound?
Ultrasound is sound which has a frequency higher than that of audible sound.( like radar )ADDED: Not like radar. That uses radio waves, although sonar and radar principles are similar.
What is considered as nature 's radar?
Bats have the ears which remind the radar and their function is also similar. (Only instead of electromagnetic impulses they receive ultrasound impulses.)
