Ground rods in the U.S. on a residential home are 8 foot long and are driven 8 feet into the ground. The top of both ground rods should be flush or just under the surface. One ground rod is placed directly under the meter base and another one is placed 6 feet to either side. They are connected together and grounded to the meter base with the correct size ground wire based on the amperage of the serviced being installed.
AWG # 4 copper.
The wetness of the soil has no bearing on ground rods. Residential wiring requires two 8 foot long ground rods driven flush or just below the surface of the ground. One is mounted under the meter base and the other is mounted 6 feet to either side. <<>> The CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) requires two ten foot rods placed ten foot apart for the grounding system. The top of the rods are identified by diameter and length stamped into the rods. This is to prevent cutting the rods off if rock obstructions are encountered. If the rod will not pound into the ground any further it is bent 90 degrees and buried horizontally and again bent 90 degrees up to allow the top of the rod to protrude above the ground so as a connection can be made to it. In the new addition of the code it now allows a ground plate to be used as a grounding medium. Only one plate is required as it has more surface area than two ground rods. The plate is buried a one metre deep or a minimum of 600 mm if rock bottom is encountered.
In the US the standard height of a utility pole is 40 feet, and is buried six feet into the ground. The tallest utility poles have reached 120 feet because of clearance requirements in the area.
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
A residential lot is not a standard measure.

Lots come in all different sizes. There is no standardized number of square feet in a lot of residential land.
According to the NEC, if the ground rod supplements another grounding electrode such as a metal water pipe, you are required 1. If the ground rod or rods is your only grounding electrode, you are required at least 2, at least 6 feet apart. Check with your local jurisdiction for local requirements.

No, it is 10 feet from the ground
To calculate ground coverage area, you multiply the length by the width of the area you are trying to cover. For example, if you have a rectangular space that is 10 feet long and 5 feet wide, the ground coverage area would be 10 feet x 5 feet = 50 square feet.
100 feet into the ground
residential code requires 30" clear width and 60" depth.
Most states have different laws. The average to legally park from a residential mailbox is ten feet unless the vehicle city,state or federally licensed.
The Ground Beneath Her Feet was created in 1999-04.
