Why does it seem like a yard is so much bigger than 3 bags of soil. What’s the deal

No - it's 27 times bigger.
A yard is 3 times bigger than a foot so a cubic yard is 33 (3 cubed) times bigger.
Edit: Brain fart. retracting.
Only 26 times bigger, yes? While their are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard. The original cubic foot needs to be subtracted from the cubic yard if you're saying its "bigger", right?That would be the difference in cubic yard (27-1)
Here we're comparing the total volume. 27 is 27 times bigger than 1 (27 / 1)
No, you wee right the first time. It's 27 times as big, or 26 times bigger
No, multiplying doesn't also add one. 1x27=27
