What does RADOME mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A dome-shaped cover that protects a radar antenna while letting radio waves pass through.
The word is a blend of radar and dome. A radome is made of material that does not block radio signals, so the dish inside can turn freely and keep working in wind, rain or ice. It is seen as the rounded nose of many aircraft and as the white spheres on hills and ships. Without such a cover the antenna would be exposed to the weather and to drag.
