Also known as map scale
ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground
Scale is the ratio that tells you how distances on a map compare to actual distances in the real world — for example, one inch on a map might represent one mile on the ground. It matters because without knowing the scale, you can't tell how far apart places actually are or how large an area really is.
