An acre is a unit of area and is equal to 4840 square yards or 4046.86 square metres.
A bit extra. Acre comes from the old English word aecer which means field. That's why field areas in English speaking countries use the acre.

The easiest conversion to actually remember is that there are 43,560 square feet in an acre. This is easy because you only need to remember the sequence 3-4-5-6, switch the first two, and add a zero. To get square yards, all you have to do is divide by 9. Thus, there are 4,840 square yards in one acre.
