What is a longer period of time than an eon?

Question

and how many years are in an eon?
can someone make a list of the names for different lengths of time-centennial, millenium, etc and how long each is?

Answer 1

second
minute (60 seconds)
hour (60 minutes)
day (24 hours)
month (about 30 days)
year (a little more than 365 days)
decade (ten years)
century (100 years)
millenium (1000 years)
era (as defined by a political or social movement)
eon (a very long unspecified amount of time)

For periods longer than that you usually talk about thousands or millions of years. As you can see, these time categories are not always that exact.

Answer 2

EON

1 : an immeasurably or indefinitely long period of time : AGE
2 a usually eon : a very large division of geologic time usually longer than an era b : a unit of geologic time equal to one billion years

that 1 billion yrs thing is bs but some people buy it but check wikipedia i suppose some eons are but they are not all exactly 1 billion
