Alphabetically, AD is first; in terms of time, BC is first.
Dear, my question is regarding the terms BC and AD. When we are not sure of Jesus's birth and death, what does it make sense to use BC and AD?
BC stands for "Before Christ" and AD stands for "After Death." In Latin, AD stands for "anno domino." That means "in the year of our lord."BC stands for Before Christ, before Christ was killed. AD stands for After Death AFTER Christ was killed.Two outdated but still common terms. AD stands for After Death (the death of Christ), BC stands for Before Christ. The 'correct' terms are B.C.E (Before Common Era) and C.E (Common Era)AD - Stands For Ano Domini And Bc Stands For Before Christ!! Thats What I Know!AD=after deasth of christ. BC=before christ
In terms of the calendar: AD (Anno Domini) is in Spanish: d.C. (después de Cristo) BC (Before Christ) is in Spanish: a.C. (antés de Cristo)
BC stands for "Before Christ" and refers to the years before the birth of Jesus Christ. AD stands for "Anno Domini" which is Latin for "In the year of our Lord" and refers to the years after the birth of Jesus Christ.
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
BC : before Christ AD : anno domino
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
58 years are between 30 BC and AD 30. The first thing you need to remember is that there is no year 0; the year before AD 1 is 1 BC. So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years
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.
bc comes first because bc stands for before christ
