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.

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.
Yes, a ruler can be used to convert distances on a map to actual ground distances by measuring the distance between two points on the map and then using the map's scale. The scale indicates the ratio between map distance and real-world distance, allowing you to calculate the equivalent ground distance. For example, if the scale is 1:50,000, one centimeter on the map represents 50,000 centimeters (or 500 meters) in reality.
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.
