The scale of the map.
It is expressed as a ratio (e.g. 1:10,000) and usually gives the actual distance represented by a centimeter or an inch on the map (e.g. 1 inch = 50 miles).
There may be a bar scale that can be used as a measurement reference, especially if no ruler is available to measure.
What else can I help you with?
Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
What do most maps have?
Most maps have a key or legend, a scale to show distances, and a compass rose to indicate direction.
What Is used to show the relationship between the distances on a map and actual distances.?
The Scale.
What do elevation maps use to show elevation?
Maps can show elevation with contour lines
What does an azimuthal map show correctly?
I believe the azimutal map shows the poles and direction correctly
How are mobility maps used?
They are used to show land area
Why would scale be helpful when trying to determine distances on a physical map?
physical maps show land and water features. The colors used on physical maps include brown or green for land and blue for water. Physical maps may also use colors to show elevation. Elevation is the height of an area above sea level. A key explains the meaning of each color.

Why do you need coordinates?
They are used to map points on a graph and are used to make real maps as well as graph probabilities and distances.
What is the definition of a Scale of miles?
A scale of miles is a graphic representation used on maps to show distances between different locations. It is typically represented as a line or bar with markings indicating the specific distances on the map corresponding to actual distances on the ground.
Why do you need coordinate planes?
They are used to map points on a graph and are used to make real maps as well as graph probabilities and distances.
