A yard (abbreviation: yd) is the name of a unit of length in a number of different systems, including English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units. Its size can vary from system to system. The most commonly used yard today is the international yard. A yard is three feet or 36 inches. A corresponding unit of area is the square yard. The yard is often used to express distances.
