The BC (Before Christ) era counts backward from year 1 AD, starting from 1 BC. There is no year zero in this system, so the years recorded in BC range from 1 BC to any given earlier year, such as 2 BC, 3 BC, and so on. Therefore, the number of years recorded in BC is infinite, as it can continue indefinitely into the past.
