A "yard of gravel" is a measure of volume, not a measure of area. There are 27 cubic feet (3x3x3 feet) in a yard of gravel, or one cubic yard.

5.16 yd^3 (when they say a "yard" of gravel, they mean a cubic yard).
To calculate the number of 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard, we need to first determine the volume of a cubic yard. A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. Since there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, a cubic yard is equivalent to 201.96 gallons. Therefore, there are approximately 40.39 (201.96 divided by 5) 5-gallon buckets of gravel in a cubic yard.
A typical shovel holds about 1/2 cubic feet of soil. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (commonly called a "yard"). Therefore, about 54 shovelfuls in a cubic yard.Note that the volume of a shovel will vary depending on its size and the stuff being shoveled. You can determine the volume of your shovel by experimenting with a 5-gallon pail (equal to about 5/8 of a cubic foot).

A yard of gravel is the amount of gravel that will fill a container whose inside dimension is 1 yard by 1 yard by 1 yard. It's a cubic yard of gravel. The metric equivalent is .9144 meters by .9144 meters by .9144 meters.
One cubic yard of gravel is approximately 1,515 kilograms.
A cubic yard of 57 gravel typically weighs around 1.4 tons or 2,800 pounds.

No, a cubic yard of gravel will have a different volume measurement compared to a cubic yard of dirt because they have different densities. Gravel is denser and heavier, so it will take up less volume than dirt in a cubic yard.
A yard of dry sand typically weighs more than a yard of dry gravel. Sand particles are smaller and more densely packed, while gravel consists of larger particles with more empty space between them, leading to gravel being less dense overall.
Yard is a unit of distance.Ton is a unit of mass.

It would depend on what you are measuring. A cubic yard of mulch is lighter than a cubic yard of gravel.
