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.

比例尺（英語：Scale）是指地圖上距離和實際距離之間的比例。例如當實際距離為1,000公尺，而在地圖上的距離為1公分時，則稱這一地區的比例尺是1:100,000。一般將比例尺為1:1至1:600,000的地圖稱為大比例尺地圖，1:600,000至1:2,000,000的地圖稱為中比例尺地圖，1:2,000,000至1:∞的地圖稱為小比例尺地圖。
