Are weather maps and weather radar the same?
No. A weather map is an illustration that represents different components of the weather. Common elements of a weather map include wind speed and direction at various points, isobars (lines of equal barometric pressure), fronts, and high and low pressure systems. Some weather maps outline areas where there may be rain, snow, or potentially dangerous weather. Weather maps are used in showing how the weather is expected to behave over the course of a few hours or days. Weather radar is a technology that involves scanning the atmosphere with a beam of microwaves. The radar beam bounces off things such as rain and snow in the air. The signal that bounces back to the radar can be used to tell things such as where it is raining, how much, and sometimes how fast the wind in a storm is blowing. Doppler radar is used in tracking weather on a timescale of minutes.
