For about half a billion years Earth was mostly molten on the surface. So about 11% of the time. And then we’ve had major glaciation periods especially the cryongenian that lasted 78M years about 640M years ago.

The hadrean period (lava earth) was approximately as long as there have been vertebrates. So pretty long!
