Geologic time is a way geologists, paleontologists, and archaeologists use to determine the age of the Earth and the fossils or relics found in the Earth. A geologist uses geologic time to place events in order by time periods. A geologist might also use information from paleontologists or archaeologists to put a time period with the layer of rock they are looking at.

Geologic time is divided into groups. The groups in descending order of length are eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
