What is used to convert between the distance on the map and the actual distance in real like on a planimetric map?
A scale bar is used to convert between the distance on the map and the actual distance in real life on a planimetric map. It provides a visual representation of the relationship between the distances on the map and the corresponding real-world distances.
Which type of map scale is unitless?
A verbal scale is a type of map scale that is unitless. It describes the relationship between distance on the map and actual distance on the Earth's surface in words rather than a ratio or graphic representation.
What kind of map is a rectangular representation of earth that shows accurate direction but distorts sizes and distance?
mercator projection

What is the definition for a distance scale?
A distance scale is a representation of the relationship between distances on a map or diagram and the actual distances they represent in the real world. It is typically expressed as a ratio or a bar scale, allowing users to convert measurements between the map and reality.
If the linear scale of a map is twice another is its aerial representation is four times larger?
If the linear scale of a map is twice that of another map, the aerial representation will be four times larger due to the square relationship between linear scale and aerial representation. This means that for every unit of distance on the map with the smaller linear scale, the corresponding distance on the map with the larger linear scale will be twice as long.
Is a map a picture an object or representation?
A map can be a picture, an object or a representation all at once. A map can be considered a picture of an object that is used to represent an area on the globe.
What do people mean when they say a map is?
Drawn to scale, means a level of representation. This isapplied to cartography (mapping), where scale is the ratiobetween map distance and distance on the ground. Thus, arepresentative fraction of 1 : 15 000 indicates that 1 cm (orinch) on the map represents 15 000 cm (or inches) on theground.
Which map component defines the ratio between a distance on the map and the actual distance on earth?
The scale.The scale, which should ALWAYS be given on a map. It may be given simply as a ratio: eg 1:50 000 or in terms of the measures eg 2 cm = 1 km. There may also be a pictorial representation.
What is printed on the map used to convert distance on the map to actual ground distance?
A map scale lets you convert map distance to ground distance.
What type of map displays a representation of a a round object?
a projection map
What map displays a a flat representation of a flat object?
a projection map
