What is 1:10 scale meaning?

1:10 scale refers to the model or representation of an object, building, vehicle or any other physical entity where the dimensions of the model are one-tenth the size of the real object. In simpler terms, it means that every measurement of the scaled object or model is exactly 1/10th of the original size in the real world. For instance, if an original car measures 4 meters in length, then the model represented in a 1:10 scale would only measure 0.4 meters or 40 centimeters in length. This scale is commonly used in model making, miniature art, architecture and engineering, as well as in the gaming and hobby industry.
