One day of Brahma (the creator of all life and the universe itself) is divided into 10,000 parts called Charana and 1 Charana = 432,000 solar years.
So lets just call it X, i.e. X = 432,000 yearsNow the order and time span of Yugas is as follows1. Satya Yuga = 4X2. Treta Yuga = 3X3. Dwapar Yuga = 2X4. Kali Yuga = X
So now we know that Dwapar is twice the length of Kali and Treta is thrice its length, and hence the name of Yugas.

4According to the Bhagavata Purana,
Jaya and Vijaya, gatekeepers at Vaikuntha, one day saw four
Kumaras - Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana and Sanatkumara - had come to meet Vishnu. Thinking of
them to be mere children, not manasaputras of Brahma as they
actually were, Jaya and Vijaya stopped them at the door. Enraged,
the Kumaras cursed the two that they would have to leave Vaikunta and be born as mere mortals on
earth. Jaya and Vijaya appealed to Vishnu but indeed, they were born as
Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha; Ravana and Kumbhakarna; and
Dantavakra and Shishupala, who were the enemies of lord Vishnu on
his different avatars.
Now why they had become the marked enemies of Lord Vishnu?
The Answer is……..
Vishnu said the curse of the Kumaras could not be reversed. Instead, he gave Jaya and Vijaya two options : either take
seven births on earth as a devotee of Vishnu, or take three births on earth as
his enemy. Unable to be away from Vishnu for seven births, Jaya and Vijaya
chose to be born as his enemy.
