The yard is an English unit of length which is included within both the British imperial and US customary systems of measurement.
It can be symbolized as "yd". One yard equals 3 feet or 36 inches.
The idiom of "yard" has an old English origin. It was derived from the two English words "gerd and gyrd" which were used in different measurement such as rods and branches.
Beside being the standard unit of field-length measurement in American ,Canadian and Association football, the yard is used widely for length measurement in many different countries.
What is fathom?
As we mentioned before, the human body was the base from which length units were derived. Fathom is one of these units. For a large man holding his arms fully extended, the distance from the middle fingertip of one hand to the middle fingertip of the other hand express one fathom.
For more specification, one fathom equals 6 feet or nearly 1.83 meter. The term "fathom" was derived from the old English "faedm" which means outstretched arms. Fathom is used mainly in water depth measurement.
