It is large scale that shows a large amount of detail. No, we're not being funny, so let's look at a couple of things.
If we do a cutaway drawing of a biological subject, say a cell, the larger we make the scale, the more detail we'll be able to include. Obviously the cell is a small structure, but if a drawing on a sheet of standard notebook paper (8 1/2" x 11") was pretty much filled up with the diagram, a good amount of detail could be seen. A drawing the size of a postage stamp would not begin to reveal as much detail.
If we have to show a lot of area on a drawing, again we'd try for large scale. Should we wish to show a street map of, say New York City, a sheet of that notebook paper wouldn't help. The large map books contain hundreds of pages about the size of the notebook paper showing all the streets. Imagine cutting them all out and pasting them on, say, the floor of a gym. A large scale street map of New Your City would be laid out for inspection. Large scale allows more detail.
A large scale map (covers a small area) shows more detail as there is more space to show detail. A small scale map (covers a large area or even a whole country, etc) doesn't have much space, so any detail is either shrunk or even omitted altogether.
it shows the size of the object on the ground, on the scale.
Among other advantages, a large scale map make it easier to bomb the enemy.
The most accurate map is a globe because it shows exactly where things are on the Earth and a globe is not distorted, like a map is.
It shows continents. countries. rivers. mountains. oceans. etc. basically everything on a normal map but it is bigger but not better.

A large-scale map shows much more detail. For example - a 1:1000 map will show twice as much detail as a 1:2000 one. The higher the number - the smaller the scale is.

A large scale map shows you the distanct between things on a map and on the real eaths surface.
It shows temperature on a large, easily read, scale.
You should use a large scale map for detailed information on a small area or region, such as a city or neighborhood. A small scale map, on the other hand, is more suitable for showing a larger area or region with less detail, like a country or continent. The choice depends on the level of detail you need for the specific purpose of your map.
The two types of map usually have two different uses. A large scale is better for showing large scale landforms, navigation, or highways between widely separated places. A small-scale map shows more local detail (hills, parks, streets, important locations). You would not use the same map to drive from Dallas to Boston as you would to find a specific location in Boston when you arrived there. Online maps usually have the capability to display a wide range of scales, making them usable for a variety of applications both large scale and small scale.
