Best Answer

Assuming that the question is being asked about "dirt"; in the United States, the volume of dirt is calculated in cubic yards. In the rest of the world, the volume of dirt is calculated in cubic meters.

A cubic yard of dirt is the volume of dirt that fits in a space 1 yard (36 inches) by 1 yard by 1 yard.

A cubic meter is 1M X 1M X 1M.
