No, a geologic era is a longer unit of time than a geologic period. Geologic eras are divided into periods, which are further subdivided into epochs. The hierarchy from largest to smallest is era, period, epoch.
Eon.
The shortest recognized unit of geologic time is a "millisecond" which is one thousandth of a second. Geologic time is typically measured in much larger units like millions of years.
The smallest unit on a measuring device is typically referred to as the resolution or precision of the device. It represents the smallest increment by which the device can measure. The size of this unit will vary depending on the specific measuring device being used.
The Earth's history is divided into geologic time periods, with the largest unit being eons, which are further divided into eras, periods, epochs, and ages. The current eon we are in is the Phanerozoic eon, divided into the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. Each division represents significant changes in Earth's geological and biological history.
The smallest unit of geologic time is an age, followed by epoch, period, era, eon, and super eon.
The two basic units of the geologic time scale are eons and eras. Eons are the largest units of time, while eras represent subdivisions within eons.
No, a geologic era is a longer unit of time than a geologic period. Geologic eras are divided into periods, which are further subdivided into epochs. The hierarchy from largest to smallest is era, period, epoch.
The smallest unit of geologic time is a "stage," which is typically defined by specific rock layers or fossils that mark distinct intervals of time within a geological period. Stages are further divided into ages, which correspond to even smaller intervals of time.

Era
The longest in geological time is an Eon eg. Archeozoic Eon . Edit: there is also the supereon, which is usually composed of 2-3 eons.
