Answer:

A ratio or representative fraction (RF) indicates how many units on Earth's surface are equal to one unit on the map. It can be expressed as 1/100,000 or 1:100,000. In this example, 1 centimeter on the map could equal 100,000 centimeters (1 kilometer) on Earth. It could also mean that 1 inch on the map is equal to 100,000 inches on the real location (8,333 feet, 4 inches, or about 1.6 miles). Other common RFs include 1:63,360 (1 inch to 1 mile) and 1:1,000,000 (1 cm to 10 km).

Dark areas can form in the photosphere of the sun. these areas are cooler than surrounding areas. they also have a strong magnet
algol [13]
The answer is - Sunspots.

Sunspots are dark in appearance, but only on a visible light, and this is due to the fact that they are much cooler than the surrounding areas, but that doesn't mean by any means that the sunspots are cool, on contrary, they are very hot too. Sunspots actually are storms that appear in the lower atmosphere of the sun.
