One US cup of plain yogurt weighs 227 to 245 g. King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart lists yogurt at 227 g (8 oz by weight) per cup, and USDA's FoodData Central lists plain whole-milk yogurt at 245 g per 8 fl oz cup. By the USDA figure, a cup of yogurt weighs a little more than a cup of water (about 236 g).
For Greek yogurt, 1 cup is about 227 g going by the package: the Nutrition Facts panel on a 32 oz tub of Oikos plain Greek yogurt gives the serving as 3/4 cup (170 g), which scales to 227 g per cup, 113 g per 1/2 cup and 57 g per 1/4 cup. That matches King Arthur's figure for yogurt. USDA lists plain nonfat Greek yogurt only by the 170 g (6 oz) container, the same 3/4 cup. Greek yogurt is thick, so press it into the cup and level it, or weigh it when the recipe gives grams.
Yogurt is sold by net weight, so the ounces on the container are not fluid ounces. A 5.3 oz single cup is 150 g, a little under 2/3 cup, and a 32 oz tub is 907 g, which works out to 3.7 to 4 cups. See 5.3 oz to cups and 32 oz to cups.
