Scale height

Scale height is like the height of something that is scaled down to a smaller size. When something is scaled down, it usually looks like a tiny version of the original – just like how a toy model of a car looks like a tiny version of the real car. The scale height is the height of the model or tiny version of the original object measured from the ground or from the bottom. For example, if a real car is 2 meters high and its model is 15 centimeters high, then the scale height of the model car is 15 centimeters.
