No. Sand and gravel are two different terms for describing sediment size. Gravel is a size up from sand.
Gravel is typically heavier than sand, and therefore gravel would be heavier than both clay and sand. This is because gravel consists of larger-sized particles and has a higher density compared to clay and sand.
Gravel typically weighs more than sand because gravel is composed of larger and denser particles compared to sand. The weight of sand can vary depending on factors such as moisture content and particle size.
Gravel, sand, and mud are all types of sedimentary particles, with gravel being the largest size, followed by sand, and then mud being the smallest. Collectively, these sediments are referred to as clastic sediment.
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.
Gravel, sand, silt, and clay are classified based on their particle size. Gravel has the largest particle size (greater than 2mm), followed by sand (0.06mm - 2mm), silt (0.002mm - 0.06mm), and clay (<0.002mm). Gravel is coarse and drains water quickly, while clay is fine and retains water.
Sand and gravel are dug out of open quarries on the surface.
Sand and gravel can be separated by sifting them through a mesh, that will allow the sand to fall through, but will hold back the gravel.

Gravel and sand are broken rocks.
Sand and gravel are dug out of open quarries on the surface.
The gravel and sand filter out smaller particles from the water
