It is know as the map's scale. For example, a map with a 1:50,000 (one to fifty thousand) means that one centimetre measured on the map, represent 50,000 centimetres on the ground.

That is called the "scale" of the map.
A scale on a map helps you understand the relationship between distances on the map and the actual distances on the ground. It allows you to make accurate measurements and estimates of distances when planning a journey or understanding the size of an area. To use it, simply match the scale on the map with a ruler or measuring tape to determine the actual distance on the ground.
The scale of a map may indicate the ratio as well as showing how lengths measured on the map represent actual distances.

The scale. a map scale **************************************** A map with a scale of 1:50 000 (ratio of 1 in 50,000) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represnts 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
The map scale is a part of the map that is used to measure distance. The map scale can often be found in or around the map legend.
A ratio.
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
