4.6 billion years
The Earth's geologic time scale spans about 4.6 billion years, from the formation of the Earth to the present day.
The Paleozoic Era spans from about 541 to 252 million years ago, roughly 290 million years in total. Using the scale of 1 meter for 1 billion years, the Paleozoic would be represented by approximately 0.29 meters, or 29 centimeters, on the geologic timeline.
There are four eons dividing the geologic scale. Three occurred during the Precambrian era.

The Earth has existed in roughly its present form for about 4.5x109 years.

The geologic time scale is divided into four eras: the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. Each era represents a distinct span of time in Earth's history with characteristic geological and biological features.
To determine how many years 1 cm represents on a specific scale, you would need to know the total time span that the scale covers in relation to its total length in centimeters. For example, if a scale covers 100 years and is 10 cm long, then 1 cm would represent 10 years. You can calculate this by dividing the total years by the total centimeters of the scale.
Geologic time covers the period from the formation of the Earth to the present, a period of roughly 4.6 billion years.
The Precambrian era spanned approximately 4 billion years, making it the longest geologic time period in Earth's history.
With 40 leap years, it is 163x365=59495+40=59535
