The Difference is that Radar Satellites are just a more advanced version of Radar.
When the laser light reaches the satellite in a ranging system, part of the light is reflected back towards the Earth. By measuring the time it takes for the light to travel to the satellite and back, the distance between the Earth station and the satellite can be calculated with high precision. This helps in monitoring the satellite's position and orbit.
The full form of NAVSTAR is Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging. It is a system of satellites developed by the United States for providing accurate positioning and timing information globally.
The Sputnik satellite orbited the Earth at an altitude ranging from approximately 143 miles to 586 miles.
The term "radar" stands for "Radio Detection and Ranging." It was coined during World War II when the technology was developed to detect aircraft using radio waves reflected off the aircraft. The name highlights the key functions of the technology- detecting objects and determining their range using radio waves.
Satellites can vary significantly in size, ranging from small CubeSats that are about the size of a shoebox to large satellites that are as big as a school bus. The size of a satellite depends on its specific purpose and the equipment it carries.

They are one in the same. They use radio waves for RAdio Detection and RAnging. Radar is an acrynom, why they flip flopped the R and the A in ranging is beyond me.They're both the same thing
SONAR is actually an abbreviation for SOund Navigation And Ranging. RADAR is correspondingly an abbreviation for RAdio Detection And Ranging. LIDAR is correspondingly an abbreviation for LIght Detection And Ranging.
