It is the map's scale which is printed as part of the map's legend. For instance, a map with a 1:25,000 means that 1 centimetre measured on the map, represents 25,000 centimetres or 250 metres on the ground.

How can you represent the statement scale on the map?
The scale on a printed map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the distance on the ground. For example, 1 inch on a 1:250000 scale map would be 250000 inches on the earth.
What is bigger Earth or Saturn?
Basic Answer:Saturn is much larger than Earth, as are all the gas giant planets.How large depends on whether you are comparing the apparent size or diameter, the mass or the volume.1. Linear Size: The width or radius of Saturn is 9 times that of Earth.2 Volume: You could fit 792 Earth's inside of Saturn.3. Mass: Saturn has 95 times more mass than Earth.More information below.Data obtained from NASA. See related links.Saturn and Earth Sizes:Mass of Earth is 5.97 x 10^24 kg.Mass of Saturn is 568 x 10^24 kg.Diameter of Earth is 12,756 kilometers.Diameter of Saturn is 120,536 kilometers.For all Planets:Diameter RatioDiameter ratio of Mercury to Earth (4,879/12756) = .382Diameter ratio of Venus to Earth (12,104/12,756) = .948Diameter ratio of Earth to Earth (12,756/12,756) = 1.00Diameter ratio of Mars to Earth (6,792/12,756) = .532Diameter ratio of Jupiter to Earth (142,984/12,756)= 11.20Diameter ratio of Saturn to Earth (120,536/12,756)= 9.44Diameter ratio of Uranus to Earth (51,118/12,756) = 4.00Diameter ratio of Neptune to Earth (49,528/12,756) = 3.88Diameter ratio of Pluto to Earth (2,390/12,756) = .187Volume RatioVolume ratio of Mercury to Earth (4,879/12756)^3 = .055Volume ratio of Venus to Earth (12,104/12,756)^3 = .851Volume ratio of Earth to Earth (12,756/12,756)^3 = 1.00Volume ratio of Mars to Earth (6,792/12,756)^3 = .150Volume ratio of Jupiter to Earth (142,984/12,756)^3 = 1331Volume ratio of Saturn to Earth (120,536/12,756)^3 = 729Volume ratio of Uranus to Earth (51,118/12,756)^3 = 64Volume ratio of Neptune to Earth (49,528/12,756)^3 = 27Volume ratio of Pluto to Earth (2,390/12,756)^3 = .006Mass RatioMass ratio of Mercury to Earth (.330/5.97) = .055Mass ratio of Venus to Earth (4.87/5.97) = .815Mass ratio of Earth to Earth (5.97/5.97) = 1.000Mass ratio of Mars to Earth (.642/5.97) = .107Mass ratio of Jupiter to Earth (1899/5.97) = 318.090Mass ratio of Saturn to Earth (568 /5.97) = 95.142Mass ratio of Uranus to Earth (86.8/5.97) = 14.539Mass ratio of Neptune to Earth (102 /5.97) = 17.085Mass ratio of Pluto to Earth (.0125/5.97)= .002
What determains the distance on a map?
Apart from sketch maps, maps are to scale. The distance on a map is a ratio of the distance in the real world.
What is used to convert the distance on the map and the actual distance in real life?
Somewhere on a map there will be a scale. The scale will tell you the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. eg 1cm = 10km
What is ratio of water and land on earth?
It is known that the Earth's surface is covered by 70% water as a fact. This tells us that the ratio of water is to land is 7:3, without referring to a world map.
What feature on a map shows the ratio of a map distance to an actual distance on earth?
A map scale.
Are telephone numbers ratio or interval data?
Telephone numbers are actually nominal data.
A map scale is essentially a ratio of unit of distance on the map to a unit of distance on Earth?
Yes
On a scale in which the distance from the Sun to the earth is about 400 meters the distance from the earth to the Moon is?
Given the ratio of the distance between the earth to the sun and the earth to the moon, calculations find an incredibly small number, almost 1/400. Multiplying by 400 meters gives a distance of just over 1.028 meters in this comparison.
How do you find speed ratio?
Distance input --------------- = Speed Ratio Distance output The distance input divided by the distance output equals the Speed Ratio.
Is distance ratio or interval?
It is ratio.
In a distance-time graph the slope of is the ratio of time to distance?
no it's the ratio of distance to time (ie speed)
Numerical ratio of displacement to distance?
The ratio is 1.
What is the ratio of earth to the moon?
The earth/moon radius ratio is about 3.67/1 and the mass ratio is about 80/1.
What is a ratio of a distance on a map to the actual distance?
the map scale
How can you represent the statement scale on the map?
The scale on a printed map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the distance on the ground. For example, 1 inch on a 1:250000 scale map would be 250000 inches on the earth.
