They are simply one more way to observe distant objects and events.
no, mechanical waves are not radio waves
Radio waves are made by different types of transmitter. They are also given off by stars and lightning, this is why there is interference on your radio in a thunderstorm.
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.

Radio Waves
Scientists use radio waves to study distant quasars because quasars emit large amounts of radio waves but not much visible light.
That is because radio waves pass through clouds so radio astronomers do not have to wait for a clear sky.
radio waves. Of course they also use very big optical telescopes.
Only those which aren't absorbed too much by the atmosphere. Those are visible light, and radio waves.
Millimeter wavelengths are short frequency radio waves astronomers use because they can see gases and other phenomena not visible in visible light. MM wavelengths are usually used where the air is dry so water vapor can't scatter the waves.

Radio waves help people communicate with each other.
