A smaller scale refers to a representation or model that captures details at a reduced size compared to the original. In mapping, a smaller scale means that a larger area is depicted with less detail, often used for overviews rather than specific locations. For example, a map with a scale of 1:1,000,000 shows a larger geographic area but with less precision than a map with a scale of 1:10,000. Smaller scales are useful for understanding broader contexts while sacrificing fine detail.

Does a scale show measurement of a smaller distance that represents a larger distance?

Yes, but a scale can also be used to show a smaller distance by using a bigger distance (i.e. the opposite of the above). For example, imagine we were drawing a representation of something really small like the structure of an atom. If we wanted to draw this accurately we would have to use a scale which uses a larger distance to represent a smaller one.
