Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:100000scale map, 1cm on the map equals 1km on the ground.

sweet08021: Plese said me three important of scale

mayank2663: Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are. That’s information you need in order to interpret a distance you see (say, about a centimeter on the map) to the distance is represents (about 25,000 cm, or 1/4 km in real life, if the map scale is 1:25,000). Area, and in some ways direction, also depend on this.
