Why does it seem like a yard is so much bigger than 3 bags of soil. What’s the deal
 - Yes okay I see it now. Thank you friend 
 
- A cubic yard is (3ft)^3= 27 cubic feet - Ohhhhh!!! Damn okay. Thank you 
 
- No - it’s 27 times bigger. - A yard is 3 times bigger than a foot so a cubic yard is 33 (3 cubed) times bigger. - Edit: Brain fart. retracting. - Only 26 times bigger, yes? While their are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard. The original cubic foot needs to be subtracted from the cubic yard if you’re saying its “bigger”, right?- That would be the difference in cubic yard (27-1) - Here we’re comparing the total volume. 27 is 27 times bigger than 1 (27 / 1) 
- No, you wee right the first time. It’s 27 times as big, or 26 times bigger 
- No, multiplying doesn’t also add one. 1x27=27 
 
 
- A yard is 3 feet, so a cubic yard is 3 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet = 27 cubic feet 
- 1 cu yard is 33 cu feet, or 27 cu feet. 
- It’s also about 1.4 metric tonnes in weight
