Scales are required to represent the Actual distance between places on ground in a relative measurement on Map. We can say Maps are drawn to reduced scales. But this reduction is done very carefully so that the distance between the places is real. It is done in a way that a small distance on Paper represents a large distance on ground.
19.
Scale is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on the map.
