The scale (distance scale) shows the relationship between lengths on the map and actual distances. The bar scale (if provided) shows a sample distance, typically for centimeters or inches on the map.

The scale printed on a map will show distances on the map and on the ground. For instance: a map with a scale of 1:50000 (1 in 50,000) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represents 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
