That refers to the marks - for example, a ruler may be marked with centimeters and millimeters. The centimeter marks are somewhat longer (to distinguish them easily); the millimeter marks are usually the smallest division - the smallest unit that is marked on the scale.

You can measure things with a linear scale. Practically impossible with a non-linear scale.
Linear is a straight line and non linear could be a curve or anything but a straight line
A linear scale is a scale with equal divisions for equal vales, for example a ruler. A non linear scale is where the relationship between the variables is not directly proportional.
They are verbal scale, Linear Scale and fraction scale.
