'''Eon''', a variation of '''aeon:''' an indefinitely long or immeasurably long period of time; usually meaning thousands and thousands of years; a period of time so very long that it cannot be measured: also, a period of one thousand million years, a unit of time equal to a billion years. (U.S. 1,000,000,000 years = one billion years): '''an age'''.
usually meaning: a period of time that is so long that it cannot be measured: .

==Geology==
==Geology==
Eon, aeon: the longest division of [[Geology|geologic]] time, geological time; a geological age; the time of the physical formation and development of the earth (especially prior to human [[history]]); also, the largest division of geologic time, defined as a unit of geological time equal to a billion years.
'''Age'''; a very large division of geologic time usually longer than an era; a major division of geological time, subdivided into eras, comprising two or more eras; a geological era, such as "the Precambrian eon"; an era is usually divided into two or more periods, "the Triassic, the Jurassic, the Tertiary".
==philosophy==
'''Aeon''' (often capitalized); in [[Neoplatonism]], [[Platonism]], and [[Gnosticism]] a power existing from [[eternity]]; an emanation or phase, one of the emanating powers of the supreme [[deity]].
