The distance on maps and actual distance on the ground depend on the scale of the maps if you chose 1 cm for one kilometer than it will be 9 kilometer on the ground.This is the simple understanding and dont be confuse with the calculation of cm.

The actual distance represented by a 9cm map distance depends on the scale of the map. To determine the actual distance, you need to know the scale ratio of the map (e.g., 1:10,000) and use it to calculate the real-world distance.
A map's scale measures distance. It provides a ratio of the map's distance to the actual distance on the ground. For example, a scale of 1:100,000 means that 1 unit on the map represents 100,000 units on the ground.
Graphic Scale is the printed ruler on a map that can be used to measure the distances on the map.
A scale is used to convert between distances on a map and actual distances in real life on a planimetric map. The scale provides a ratio or proportion between a distance on the map and the corresponding distance in reality. By using the scale, you can accurately measure distances on the map and then convert them to real-world distances.

It is called the scale ruler.
