It depends on the kind of sand you're talking about.
There are five different types of sand, ranging from very fine to very course. Let's take the middle type of sand, which is medium sand.
A grain of medium sand is between 1/50 of an inch and 1/100 of an inch. If you take the middle number between that range (~1/67), then we can estimate that a square inch of sand would have approximately 4500 grains of sand (67 squared is 4,489). This assumes a completely flat layer of sand one grain deep.
A cubic inch of such sand would have just over 300,000 grains of sand.
Obviously this number will vary based on the type of sand you're working with and can only be used for estimation purposes.
IMPROVEMENT:
Hmmm, first of all, the "middle number" would seem to be 1/75, not 1/67. Let's take 1/75.
Second, the packing could be much denser than what the computation above seems to assume. With a denser packing of the grains of sand, a computation shows a shade less than 600,000 grains of 1/75" sand in a cubic inch.

How many sand grains is in a cubic ft?
It depends on grain size, which can be as small as 0.004 inch or as big as 0.1 inch. If we take an average grain size of 0.02 inch diameter that is 0.00000043 cubic inch volume and a cubic foot is 1728 cubic inches then (not considering packing voids) that is 1728/.000000 = 4 billion grains!
What is the density of sand per cubic centimeter?
Since about 20 grains of sand lined up is 1cm, then I can use the volume formula (bwh) and subsitute in 20 grains of sand. 20*20*20=8000. There are about 8000 grains of sand in a cubic centimeter.

How many grains of sand in the Sahara?
It is estimated that there are around 2.5 billion grains of sand in a cubic meter. The Sahara Desert covers an area of about 9.2 million square kilometers, so calculating the total number of grains of sand in the Sahara would require very complex math and assumptions. it is practically impossible to accurately count the total number of grains of sand in the Sahara Desert.

The number of grains of sand in an hourglass can vary depending on its size and design. However, a typical hourglass may contain around 10,000 to 15,000 grains of sand.
How many 5 mm grains of sand are in a 16oz jar?
Well, isn't that a lovely question. Imagine each tiny 5mm grain of sand, each one unique and special in its own way. Now, if we were to fill a 16oz jar with these precious grains, we would have approximately 1.6 million grains of sand dancing together in harmony. Just imagine the beautiful landscapes you could create with all those little friends!
