| accountant |
An accountant is a person who keeps track of how a business spends its money, gives advice about spending money, and often makes sure the company is paying a correct amount of tax to the government each year. All businesses have to report to the government how much money they make and pay a correct amount of tax. Some companies only use an accountant when they are reporting their income to the government and need to figure out how much tax they have to pay. People who have regular jobs also use accountants sometimes if their money affairs are complicated. |

When people use radar, they use a kind of system that sends out invisible waves that travel through the air to track where and how far away other objects are, like when a ship uses radar to find where other ships are in the water. The ship sends waves out from its location. If the waves hit something, they bounce back to the ship that sent them. When the ship picks up the radar signals coming back, they can figure out where the object is and how far away it is. |
