A ratio scale has all the properties of an interval scale (equal intervals between values) and also has a true zero point, which represents the absence of the quantity being measured. This allows for meaningful comparisons of the size of different values on the scale. Nominal scales only have categories, discrete scales have a limited number of possible values, and infinite scales do not necessarily have a true zero point.
