There is a common misconception that there are 33 years between B.C. and A.D. due to a misinterpretation of the term "A.D."
"A.D." is erroneously thought by many to stand for "After Death." The correct full term for "A. D." is "Anno Domini" which is Latin for "Year of our Lord," or the year of Jesus' birth -- not death.
According to the Judeo-Christian Bible, Jesus lived from 1 A.D. (There is no "0 A.D.") to 34 A.D.; furthermore, there are 0 years between B.C. and A.D.

How many years are between 900 bce and620 ce?
There are two complications to this question: the fact that the year 0 did not happen, and also the fact that people frequently misunderstand "between" to include the ends of the range. From 899BC to 1BC is 899 years. From 1 to 619 AD is 619 years. 899 + 619 = 1518 years between -- that is, years which are neither in 900 BC nor in 620 AD.
What happened in the time period between AD and BC?
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
What was the period in time between BC and AD called?
There was no period between BC and AD. One followed the other. After 1 BC was the year 1 AD. There was no year zero or anything else between BC and AD. BC is Before Christ. AD is Anno Domini, the time of Our Lord, so basically from when he was born. So there is no time period in between before he was born and when he was born.
Did AD come before or after BC?
AD followed BC. BC stood for Before Christ, and AD after him (Anno Domini, "year of our lord").Note that this means 1 BC was immediately followed by 1 AD, with no "zero year" between them.
What year begins the AD year?
The year was AD 1.
What year came after 1bc?
1 AD came after 1 BC.
Is there a 0 between 1 BC and 1 AD?
No. There was no year zero. A year is something, so it cannot be numbered as nothing. It is just like there is no zero day of a month, between the last day of one month and the first day of a new month. So we went directly from BC to AD with nothing in between. 1AD followed 1BC.

How many years between 9 BC and 12 AD?
33 years i believe ============ No. There is no interval at all from B.C. to A.D., not even a year zero. The concept of a mathematical zero had not been developed.
What happened in the time period between AD and BC?
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
How do you compute the difference between the year BC to AD?
Add the two year values together and subtract 1, to allow for the fact that there was no year zero. So from 1 BC to 1 AD is 1 year. 1 + 1 - 1 = 1. From 10 BC to 40 AD is 49. 10 + 40 - 1 = 49.

The year was AD 1.
Is the zero century between the first century BC and the first century AD?
There was no year zero century or year zero. 1 AD immediately followed 1 BC. The first century AD immediately followed the first century BC. There was no century between them.
What is between 50 BC and AD 50 in years difference?
Since there was no year zero, the midway point between 50 BC and 50 AD would probably be the middle of the year 1 BC.
If you were born in the year 1 how old are you?
Because there was no year '0'; If you were born in 1BC you would be turning 2015 in the year 2016. If you were born in 1AD you would be turning 2014 in the year 2016.
