The ratio between the distance between two points found on the map as compared to the actual distance between these points in the real world?
look at the scale of the map
What is the definition to map scale indicator?
it is an indicator used to determine the distance on a paper and the actual distance on the ground.
A map uses a scale of 3 cm to 5 km. A distance on the map is 18 cm. What is the actual distance?
18cm * 5km/3cm = 6*5 km = 30 km
Use a map scale of 2 inches 25 miles to find actual distance of 5 inches?

What is a ratio of a distance on a map to the actual distance?
the map scale
What feature on a map shows the ratio of a map distance to an actual distance on earth?
A map scale.
What is used to convert the distance on the map and the actual distance in real life?
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
What is the ratio of distance on a map to actual ground distance known as?
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.
What is used to convert between the distance on the map and actual distance in real life on a planimetric map?
The scale of a map may indicate the ratio as well as showing how lengths measured on the map represent actual distances.

What is scale in a geography term?
A Map Scale is a ratio which compares a measurement on a map to the actual distance between locations identified on the map.
Describe two scales that are used to figure out the ratio of the distance on a map to the actual distance between locations?
Ratio scales and Bar scales are two scales that can determine the actual distance. Ratio scale is describes as the ratio of units in a smaller dimension. Bar scales make use of graphic lines to find the distance.
What does the term map scale mean?
A map scale is the amount that the drawing compares with an actual measurement. ie - one inch on the map may be equivalent to a mile. If it is a very detailed map then a mile may be as much as 4 inches (as on British Ordnance Survey maps.) On a page of an actual atlas showing a whole country, one inch can be 500 ore even a thousand miles. The scale is usually defined on the lower right corner of the map.

What is the definition of direct map scales?
A direct map scale is defined as being a chart used to show the ratio between the distance shown on the map and the actual corresponding distance that is found on Earth. A direct scale is often represented by a scaled down size of one and eighty-thousandth of the actual size.
Which map component defines the ratio between a distance on the map and the actual distance on earth?
The scale.The scale, which should ALWAYS be given on a map. It may be given simply as a ratio: eg 1:50 000 or in terms of the measures eg 2 cm = 1 km. There may also be a pictorial representation.
