How big is an acre of land?
Like the two answers before me, it is 43,560 square feet. This would be a piece of land roughly 209 ft long by 209 ft wide. Another way to look at it is that the typical home in California where I live sits on a lot of about 7,200 square feet. So, if you take six homes, the land they all sit on is about an acre. One acre is 90.75 yards of a 53.33-yard-wide American football field. The full field, including the end zones, covers approximately 1.32 acres. If you had a piece of land that was one mile long and one mile wide it would be 640 acres.
