What is a VHF OMNI RANGE (VOR)?
A VOR is a radio beacon for use by aircraft. It emits two signals. One identifies the beacon by morse code or recorded voice, the other is a continuous signal that rotates and varies in phase with the first. Using a special receiver, that resolves the phase difference, the direction to the beacon can be displayed. Knowing which beacon you tune into and its position on a chart, it is possible to plot a position line. Crossing it with other beacons will give a position.Alternately, you can just fly towards it and use it as a way point.

Could we turn Earth into a giant radio satellite or antenna like Mercury in the movie Sunshine and what consequences would this have?
I didn't understand that from the film. Mercury is not tuned into an antenna; the crew of Icarus II finds a distress beacon near it and that beacon is no different from any used on Earth similar to those lost at sea.As for making Earth into such a beacon, it is physically impossible. There is no way you can reshape an entire planet to a usable antenna or beacon and let it remain supporting life, much less even remotely similar.
