Scale (map) — The scale of a map is defined as the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. If the region of the map is small enough for the curvature of the Earth to be neglected, then the scale may be taken as a constant… … Wikipedia
Scale (ratio) — The concept of scale is applicable if a system is represented proportionally by another system. For example, for a scale model of an object, the ratio of corresponding lengths is a dimensionless scale, e.g. 1:25; this scale is larger than 1:50.In … Wikipedia
