Scale in geography tells us the relationship between actual earth distance and the distance shown on a map. It is expressed as a ratio or a fraction, indicating how many units on the ground are equal to one unit on the map. For example, a scale of 1:100,000 means that one unit on the map represents 100,000 units on the ground.
