âºâº Definition: Cubic yard. The cubic yard (symbols yd, cu. yd.) is a nonmetric unit of volume, used in the United States. It is defined as the volume of a cube with edges one yard in length.
In the usual sense a yard is a length. It is 3 feet long or 36 inches long. It is a familiar length as we are accustomed to using yard sticks, which are 36 inches long. Thus it seems strange to compare cubic feet, which measure volume, to yards which measure length.
