Like 1 year on earth and how much time in hell
In Jain cosmology, there is no fixed direct conversion like “1 year on Earth = X time in hell.”
The reason is:
- Hell beings (narakī jīvas) have a much slower and different experience of time.
- Their lifespan is measured in sāgaropama units, which are extremely vast.
- Even the shortest lifespan in hell is enormously longer than human years.
So in simple words:
1 year on Earth is not equal to any standard time in hell. Hell time is described in Jain texts as vastly longer and very intense, but not converted into a simple human ratio.
If you want, I can also explain:
- how long beings live in each hell level, or
- the 7 or 8 narakas in Jainism in simple language.
