Yes. "BCE" means "Before the Christian Era"; "CE" means "Christian Era". (The Christian Era is the period of time that began after the birth of Jesus of Nazareth -- the most common calendar used these days.)

Which date came earlier 540 BCE or 240 BCE?
540 BCE. In years BCE (BC), the years count backward until the year 1 BCE is reached. The year 1 CE (AD) immediately follows 1 BCE, and begins counting upward; there is no year 0.
How many year are there between 200 BCE and 2000 CE?
Assuming that BCE is a renaming of BC and CE is a renaming of AD of the calendar devised by Dionysius Exiguus in 247 Anno Diocletiani which he designated 531 AD since he calculated that Jesus was born 531 years earlier, becoming his year 1 AD, which was preceded by 1 BC as zero was not invented for another 500 years or so, then between 200 BCE and 2000CE there are the 199 years 199 BCE to 1 BCE and the 1999 years from 1 CE to 1999 CE, making a total of 199 + 1999 = 2198 years between 200 BCE and 2000 CE (exclusive). However, as people were celebrating 2000 CE as the start of the third millennium CE, the second must have run from 1000 CE to 1999 CE and thus the first must have run from 0 CE to 999 CE which means that in the BCE/CE calendar there is a year 0, which means between 200 BCE and 2000 CE there is an extra year, meaning there are 2199 years between 200 BCE and 2000 CE (exclusive). Which dates have been corrected for this extra year in the BCE/CE calendar over the BC/AD calendar I would love to know; for example, Julius Caesar was assassinated on 15 March 44 BC, so is that 15 March 43 BCE?

How many years difference is between is between 250 ce and bce?
There are 500 years between 250 CE and 250 BCE Years that are denoted as BCE are counted backwards until they get to 0 after which years are then denoted as CE and these ones count upwards. This means that to find the difference between these two years, you must first count from 250 BCE to 0 and then from 0 to 250 CE. 250 BCE to zero = 250 years Zero to 250 CE = 250 years Then sum them up: = 250 + 250 = 500 years
