the key explains what the colors and shapes on the map represent. It also has a scale so you can accurately find the distance between objects.
=The curved surface of the earth cannot be shown accurately on a map because such a surface must be stretched or broken in some places as it is flattened. For this reason mapmakers use map projections.=
The key defines symbols like hospitals and city hall, etc. and includes a scale so you know how many miles per area there is.A map key tells you what certain colors and symbols represent on the map.
Three projection methods used by geographers and map makers are: cylindrical conic planar.
Mapmakers use scale to represent distances between points on a map.
represent
Different colors on a map typically represent different categories or types of data. For example, in a topographic map, different colors may indicate varying elevations. In a thematic map, colors may represent different levels of a particular variable, such as population density or average temperature.

They are both map mapmakers.
It is the legend on a map that provides the information which allows the user to interpret that map.
what is 5 colors of the map, and what do each one represent
Mapmakers use map projections to represent the surface of the Earth in two dimensions. Since the Earth is a 3D shape, it is impossible to show its entire surface on a flat map without distorting some aspects. Map projections help minimize these distortions and allow us to navigate and understand geographic information more effectively.
On a climate map, colors represent temperature changes. The more red there is in an area, the hotter the weather there. The more blue there is, the colder the area, and so on.
