...and they can penetrate a bit in the surface, we could image the subsurface right? I do not see the problem...
Help please!

Radiowaves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through space. When these waves encounter an object, such as a planet, they can be reflected off of its surface. This is similar to how light is reflected off of a mirror.
After radiowaves are reflected off of an object, they continue to travel through space until they encounter another object or are absorbed by the atmosphere.
Yes, scientists often use reflected radiowaves to study planets and other celestial objects. By analyzing the reflected waves, we can gather information about the composition and surface features of the planet.
No, not all objects reflect radiowaves. Objects that have a smooth and solid surface, such as planets, are more likely to reflect radiowaves than objects with rough or porous surfaces.
Yes, radiowaves can also be absorbed or diffracted by objects in space. Absorption occurs when the radiowaves are absorbed by the material of the object, while diffraction is the bending of radiowaves around an object.
