Question

how we can show scale on a map​

Answer 1

Maps are a graphical representation of the world or a section of the world.

As a representation of the world, maps are compressed versions of the real world meaning that a large piece of land is recreated onto a smaller piece of paper or digital file.

The relationship between the real world size of a geographic feature and its representative feature on a map is known as scale.

Scale is often represented as a ratio between the real world size and the size in units on the map.
