It depends on the weight of the yarn.
If you're trying to use an older pattern that only mentions yarn type and weight... you'll need to compare the pattern's desired gauge. Compare this number to yarns that knit up at a similar gauge.
When you find a yarn that is the same gauge, divide the total required weight by the weight of each skein. This tells you the total number of skeins you'll need for your pattern.
To get guesstimate of length, you first need to know if it's a #4 worsted weight, a #1 fine or if it's a #5 Or 6 Bulky Chunky weight. The smaller around the yarn, the more you would have of it and if it's big fuzzy yarn you'd have less length.
If you have the label or know which company made it you could go to their website and get length from there. The length is usually on the label.
Good Luck!
Yarns vary enormously in how far they go. Approximately, it will be 30 to 35 yards per ounce, so about 105 to 132.5 yards for 100g.
It is different for each yarn. It depends on the type of yarn...like chunky, sock yarn, etc.
Approx 300 yards.
That depends on the kind of yarn.

100 yards
This varies with the thickness of the yarn. A conversion from weight to length should be given on the ball band. For worsted weight yarn 400 yd would be about 227 g.
It will depend on the type of yarn. 225 yards of worsted weight yarn is about 100g, but 225 yards of sock weight yarn is about 25g. What is the yarn type?
The number of yards of yarn in 620 grams depends entirely on the unique qualities of the yarn. First of all, the weight, or thickness, of the yarn can influence the number of yards in a specific number of grams. For instance, 10 yards of laceweight yarn will weigh much less than 10 yards of bulky weight yarn. Second, the type of fiber of the yarn also needs to be taken into account. Certain fibers, like cotton, bamboo, and silk, tend to be much heavier than fibers like wool or alpaca. Therefore, 10 yards of cotton yarn will weigh more than 10 yards of wool yarn, even if the two yarns are of equal thickness. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the yardage of your yarn without further information. If you know the fiber and the weight (thickness) of the yarn (such as laceweight, fingering weight, sportweight, worsted, etc.), you can find a yarn with a similar weight and fiber on a website such as yarndex.com and compare its yardage with your yarn. However, this method can get you only an estimate, and is not guaranteed to be accurate. If you must know specifically how many yards of yarn you have, you can purchase a device that measures it as you spin it into a ball. A Yarn Meter such as this one from knitpicks.com: http://www.knitpicks.com/accessories/Knitting_Yarn_Meter__D80179.html can measure exactly how many yards of yarn you have.
it varies by company , type of yarn ( like wool , acrylic, blends, etc) but as a rule it would be around 200 yards up to about 275 yards . at 200 yards you would be figuring safe
You can not determine how many yards from the weight of the skein or cone. 50 grams is 1.75 ounces but it would depend on the exact thickness and type of yarn to know how many yards. The thicker the yarn the less the yards as a rule. Example a 50 gram ball of sport yarn can be anywhere from 110 to 170 yards give or take , but a 50 gram ball of bulky can be anywhere from 30 yards to 60 yards give or take ..

Yarn is used inside of a baseball and not thread. It is wound so tightly that it appears to be thread when examined. Three layers of wool yarn and one layer of cotton yarn is used, the total length being approximately 371 yards. Click on the 'Making Baseballs' link below to read about how a baseball is made.
They can't be compared. A yard is a distance, an ounce is a weight. The length of 2 ounces of yarn would depend upon the thickness of the yarn and the type of material the yarn is made of (lambs wool, acrylic, etc). I have had some luck when substituting a yarn with a replacement that was an equivalent grams per meter (ounces per yard).
A skein of wool can come in different weights. There is not a specific amount of wool needed in a skein.
There should be 836 yards in a package of 16oz of yarn.
There are no set rules about how many grams or yards of yarn per skein/ball of yarn. Different companies have different sized skeins/balls of yarn, and even between the different styles of yarns. Best bet would be to find the yarn that you would like to use for your project, and see how many grams in the ball then figure out how many balls you would need. A few numbers to keep in mind, 1070g = approximately 38oz, or about 2.4 pounds.
