Not even a blip.
Yes, an era is shorter than an eon. An era is a subdivision of geologic time that represents a significant period of time within an eon, while an eon is the largest division of geologic time, typically lasting hundreds of millions to billions of years.
On the geologic time scale, an era is longer than a period. There are 12 geologic eras in total and they are composed of geologic periods. For instance, the Mesozoic era is composed of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Century - A century is not a major period of the geologic time scale. The major divisions of the geologic time scale are eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
This period is called holocene.

We are living in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period in the Cenozoic Era of geologic time.
The order of units of geologic time from longest to shortest is: eon, era, period, epoch.
