Question:

Talking about "age and era" like "dark age and dark era" which is longer in terms of number of years

Novel reading always confuse me about age and era. Is there a difference between them


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I don't think there is any specific length of time, in years, for an 'era' or an 'age'. The Middle Ages lasted about 1,000 years, depending on who you ask (from about 500 AD to 1500 AD) but some people disagree with this. I don't think there's any difference, really, between age and era.
