A feature on a map is much small than it is in real life and they are drawn using a scale, a proportion
between the distance on the map and the actual distance on the Earth.​

Answer 1

The scale indicates the proportion which a distance between two points on a map bears to the distance between the corresponding points on the actual ground. For instance, an actual distance of 5 miles is represented on the map by a distance of 1 inch, the scale is 1" = 5 miles.
