Meter vs. Yard: What’s the Difference?

  • Yard symbol: yd
  • Meter symbol: m

A meter is an SI, or metric system, unit that measures distance. A yard also measures distance but is from the British Imperial or United States Customary System. The United States uses the yard as a measurement, while most other worldwide countries use the metric system and, therefore, the meter.

A meter and yard similar in length:

  • A meter contains 39.37 inches
  • A yard contains 36 inches
  • There are 100 centimeters in a meter
  • There are 91.44 centimeters in a yard
  • A meter equals 3.28 feet
  • A yard equals 3 feet

In the United States, the yard measurement is less prevalent than feet and inches. It’s mainly used to measure construction or building materials, football fields, soccer fields, and fabric.

In countries that use the metric system, the meter is a common measurement. Meters can measure the length or width of a room, furniture, tv screens, and in real estate listings, the square meter measures area.
