Yard

A yard is a unit of length used primarily in the United States and the UK, equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. It's commonly used to measure small distances or the size of objects such as rugs, furniture, or athletic fields. For example, a standard soccer field is about 100 yards long. In general, a yard helps provide a convenient way to express measurements that are too long for inches but shorter than miles, making it useful for everyday measurements and construction.
