There is no difference between the yard and a pit in an Elizabethan theater. The two terms are synonymous. The pit was the area in front of the stage where people stood and watched the play. It was the cheapest part of the theater. Purchasing seats overlooking the stage cost an additional fee.

What is the inner yard of the shakespearean theater?
Before they started making theatres on purpose for performing in, about when Shakespeare was ten years old, plays were put on in improvised spaces in houses or large halls. A favourite place to do this was in inns which were built around a central courtyard, enclosing it with usually a couple of stories of rooms. A stage would be set up in the courtyard, called the inner yard (as opposed to the space around the outside of the inn), and people could watch from the ground or from the balconies of the rooms. Innyard theatres continued even after the purpose-built theatres, which were designed to mimic the interior of innyards, with an open courtyard surrounded by covered balconies. This courtyard could be called the inner yard, using the terminology from inns.
What kind of theaters existed in shakespeares day?
Open air public theatres existed in Shakespeares day. They were built of wood, and were circular in shape. They had about three tiers of covered seating, and an open yard in the middle for the 'lower class' to stand and watch the play. They were called groundlings because they stood on the ground, and were only charged a penny to do so. The stage protruded from one side of the circle and into the yard. 'Upper class' theatre visitors could even pay to sit at the side stage to watch the play. There were two main theatres in London during Shakespeare's time, called The Rose and The Globe. Shakespeare predominantly played in The Globe. For more information, I would search 'Shakespeare's Globe'. A reproduction has been built in London which is meant to be based on the designs for the original Globe Theatre. The original burnt down in the Great fire of London in 1666.
