Precambrian Time extends from 4.6 billion years ago to 540million years ago. that's the greatest expanse of geologic time.
The largest expanses of geologic time are referred to as 'eons'.
Eon The largest expanse of time on the geologic time scale is the eon. An eon would encompass at least two eras.
It is called eon
Geologic history is divided, from largest amount of time to smallest amount of time, by eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
The geologic time scale that represents the longest time span is the eon. It is a unit of time that is equal to a billion years.
Chron Age Epoch Period Era Eon
After an era, the next smallest division of time would be an epoch. An epoch is equal to around 10,000,000 years, where as an era is 100,000,000 years.
The Geologic Time Scale is divided up by four major intervals. In order from Largest to smallest: Eons are the largest time frame covering hundreds of millions of years. Eons are divided into smaller time intervals known as Eras. Eras are subdivided into Periods. Periods are broken into finer subdivisions known as Epochs.

Human existence has been very brief compared to the entire expanse of geologic time.
The Precambrian
The longest in geological time is an Eon eg. Archeozoic Eon . Edit: there is also the supereon, which is usually composed of 2-3 eons.
Eons are the largest divisions of geologic time.

The current age of the universe - about 13.5 billion years - and getting longer.
