In Jain cosmology, earth-world time and hell-time are not the same in experience.

Earth time

• This is the time experienced in the manushya loka.
• It is the normal human measure of days, months, years.
• Human life has a relatively balanced experience of pleasure, pain, activity, and rest.

Hell time

• In the narak gati (hell realms), time is experienced as extremely slow and painful.
• Suffering is so intense that even a very long period can feel unbearable.
• The lifespan in hell is much longer than in the human world.
• A being in hell does not experience time the way humans do; it is bound by its karmic condition.

Main difference

• On earth: time is experienced in a more normal, balanced way.
• In hell: time is experienced as prolonged suffering, and the stay there is far longer.

In Jain dharma, this shows that time itself is not the only factor — the state of the soul and its karma greatly affect how time is experienced.
