Yes, bar scales are used to convert map distance to ground distance.

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
It is the 'scale factor'

The scale used to convert distances on a map to actual ground distance is typically represented as a ratio or fraction, such as 1:50,000 or 1/50,000. This means that 1 unit of measurement on the map (such as an inch or centimeter) corresponds to 50,000 of the same units in reality. Scales can also be shown as a graphic scale or bar scale, which visually indicates the relationship between map distance and ground distance.
