During the Hadean Eon, the Earth was extremely hostile with intense volcanic activity, frequent impacts from asteroids, and high surface temperatures. Conditions were not conducive to life as we know it, and there is no evidence of any living organisms from this era.
The Hadean Era is named after Hades, the ancient Greek god of the underworld. The name reflects the extreme conditions on Earth during this time, with intense heat and volcanic activity that would have resembled the fiery realm of Hades.
The Hadean Eon, the earliest time interval, was when the Earth was cooling, and continents and oceans formed. Lifeforms are thought to have appeared in the following eon, the Archean Eon.(eras are a much smaller time interval, and the Hadean is not normally subdivided into these)
Paleozoic Era: Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian. Mesozoic Era: Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous. Cenozoic Era: Paleogene (Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene), Neogene (Miocene, Pliocene), Quaternary (Pleistocene, Holocene).
The oldest era in geologic time is the Precambrian, followed by the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras, which is the most recent era that includes the present day.
The two subdivisions of the Precambrian Era are the Hadean and the Archean Eons.

The Hadean Era is named after Hades, the ancient Greek god of the underworld. The name reflects the extreme conditions on Earth during this time, with intense heat and volcanic activity that would have resembled the fiery realm of Hades.
The earliest era is the Cryptic era (an informal designation) for the earliest part of the Hadean eon which is not technically seperated into era. The first formal era is the Eoarchaean.
The Precambrian era is divided into three subdivisions: the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eons. These subdivisions represent different stages in Earth's early history, from the formation of the planet to the evolution of complex life forms.
The Hadean Eon covers the time from accretion to the earliest known rocks.
In geologic time, the Hadean is the first EONof Earth's history, from it's formation 4.57 billion years ago to about 4 billion years ago. The Hadean is not an era, which is a smaller subdivision of geologic time.
"The Hadean time period is often referred to as the 'Hadean Eon.'"
The Hadean Era lasted for approximately 500 million years, from about 4.6 to 4.0 billion years ago. It was a period of intense heat and frequent asteroid impacts on the early Earth, during which the planet was forming and undergoing significant geological processes.

The longest era in geologic time is the Precambrian era, which lasted from about 4.6 billion years ago to 541 million years ago. It encompasses about 90% of Earth's history and is divided into several eons, including the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic.
The Hadean Eon, which lasted from about 4.6 to 4.0 billion years ago, was when the Earth had no solid crust. During this time, the planet was still molten due to intense heat from its formation.
