A yard is a unit of measurement in both the Imperial and US customary systems. Equal to 3 feet or 36 inches, it is commonly used in the United States to measure distances and lengths, especially in construction, property measurements, and textile industries. In sports, it often refers to the playing fields in American football and soccer. The term originates from the Old English 'gyrd', which means a stick or rod. Although not part of the metric system, it remains in widespread use in certain regions.
