Convert Square yards to Hectares
1 square yard is 0.00008361 ha. One square yard is exactly 0.000083612736 hectares.
One square yard is 8.3613 × 10^-5 hectares. To convert square yards to hectares, multiply by 8.3613 × 10^-5; to go the other way, divide by 8.3613 × 10^-5 or multiply by 11959.9. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Office of Weights and Measures. Nine square feet.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Office of Weights and Measures rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
The same converter answers this pair however it is written: sqyd to ha is how the symbols are typed on a keyboard with no superscript on it.
