At the minimum, a radar is a device that can detect the range of the target object (ie. radar gun used by law enforcement).

A more advanced radar can locate the range and direction of the target object (via the azimuth). For example, the old spinning radar antenna seen on TV can locate an object based on the detected range and the direction the antenna is facing at the time. These can still be used to track the weather as clouds can be tracked.

The most highly advanced radar can identify just about everything about the target object as if it is in front of you. An example of use is tracking space junk.
