The Longest Era of Earths History is Paleoproterozoic Eralasting 900 million years.

The largest unit of time in relation to Earth's history is the super-eon. Super-eons are divided into eons. Eons in turn are divided into eras, eras are divided into periods, periods into Epochs and Epochs in Ages.

Precambrian Super-Eon (4,600 - 542 Ma)

Hadean Eon (4,600 - 3,800 Ma)

Archean Eon (3,800 - 2,500 Ma)

  • Eoarchean Era (3,800 - 3,600 Ma)
  • Paleoarchean Era (3,600 - 3,200 Ma)
  • Mesoarchean Era (3,200 - 2,800 Ma)
  • Neoarchean Era (2,800 - 2,500 Ma)

Proterozoic Eon (2,500 - 542 Ma)

  • Paleoproterozoic Era (2,500 - 1,600 Ma)
  • Mesoproterozoic Era (1,600 - 1,000 Ma)
  • Neoproterozoic Era (1,000 - 542 Ma)

Modern Super-Eon (542 Ma - Now)

Phanerozoic Eon (542 Ma - now)

  • Paleozoic Era (542 -251 Ma)
  • Mezozoic Era (251 - 65 Ma)
  • Cenozoic Era (65 Ma - Now)
