It’s not whenever someone puts it on, it just kind of seems like that in the films.
For example Gollum and later Bilbo wore the ring all the time and Sauron had no clue where they and the ring were for centuries.
When Frodo first puts on the ring and get’s spotted by Sauron it’s actually because he is in the “Seat of Seeing”, which is a kind of magical place for seeing far distances.
Other than that Sauron can only sense the ring when someone puts it on close to or inside Mordor.
Now this is the sort of nerdery I come to Lemmy for.

he is in the “Seat of Seeing”
