600-800 pounds dry, wet double that
A yard of dry dirt typically weighs between 2,000 to 2,700 pounds, depending on its moisture content and composition.
A cubic yard of topsoil can weigh anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, depending on its moisture content and individual characteristics.
It depends on what's in the soil and how big your hands are.
You can demonstrate that soil contains water by taking a handful of soil and squeezing it in your hand. If water is present, the soil will stick together and form a ball. Additionally, you can weigh a sample of soil, dry it thoroughly, then re-weigh it; the difference in weight indicates the amount of water in the soil.
The weight of a cup of dirt can vary depending on factors like soil composition and moisture content. On average, a cup of dry soil weighs around 0.5-1 pound (approximately 0.2-0.45 kilograms). However, if the dirt is wet or has more organic matter, it can weigh more.

Exactly how much more it weighs will depend on how wet it is.
If dry, it will weigh approximately 2000 lbs. If wet , approximately 2800 lbs. If dry, it will weigh approximately 2000 lbs. If wet , approximately 2800 lbs.

It is difficult to answer this without knowing what the cubic yard contains. A ballpark estimation would be one of the most common consumer purchases of something delivered by the cubic yard, top soil. A relatively dry, screened, cubic yard of top soil will weigh approximately 2400 lbs. For our friends in the rest of the world, 2400 lb = 1088.621 kg (or 1.08862 mt).

To calculate the moisture content of soil, you can use the formula: Moisture Content () ((Wet Weight - Dry Weight) / Dry Weight) x 100. First, weigh a sample of soil when it is wet, then dry it in an oven and weigh it again when it is dry. Subtract the dry weight from the wet weight, divide by the dry weight, and multiply by 100 to get the moisture content percentage.
Approximately 10 yards; but it depends on the weight of the topsoil, whether it is moist or dry.
Weigh a certain amount of soil, then dry it (e.g. in an oven), and weigh it again. If it weighs less after drying, then it had water in it at the beginning.
The weight of 30 gallons of soil can vary depending on its moisture content and composition, but on average, one gallon of dry soil weighs about 12-15 pounds. Therefore, 30 gallons of dry soil would weigh approximately 360 to 450 pounds. If the soil is wet, the weight could be significantly higher, potentially reaching up to 600 pounds or more.
