The smallest unit of geologic time is an age, followed by epoch, period, era, eon, and super eon.
One million years on the geological time scale represents one million years of Earth's history. It is a unit of time used to measure and discuss long-term geological events and processes.
The era that is divided into smaller units of time scale is the "Geological Era." Geological eras are major subdivisions of geological time and are further divided into periods, epochs, and ages, allowing scientists to study Earth's history in more detail. The three primary geological eras are the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic, each encompassing significant events in the planet's evolutionary history.
The largest divisions of the geologic time scale are: Hadean Eon (4.6 to 3.8 billion years ago) Archaen Eon (3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago; this is when the first bacteria existed) Proterozoic Eon (3.8 billion to 542 million years ago) Phanerozoic Eon (542 million years ago through today; this is when the first complex multicellular life forms evolved.)
It is an epoch.
It depends on the scale. For a scale in a chemistry lab probably a gram. For old fashioned stores: a kilogram. Precision scales could be a milligram.There is no real "basic" metric unit for a balance scale. The counterweights you use are determined by the item you are measuring.

The measurement of Earth's history divided into time periods is called the geological time scale. It is divided into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages, with each unit representing a significant change in Earth's geological and biological history.
The basic unit is a Kelvin but it is common to use a degree Celsius. The Kelvin scale is absolute whereas the zero point on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.

SI is the acronym for System Internationale. SI hold the degree Celsius to be the basic unit when it comes to the temperature measurement.
The base unit for time is the second.
