A century is one hundred years.
BC stands for "Before Christ" and AD stands for "Anno Domini", meaning "in the year of the Lord". So 100 BC means, well, 100 years before Christ arrived. 200 BC means 200 years and so on. BC time counts backwards, so 2000 BC is further in the past than 1000 BC.
The terms BCE are coming into use, meaning "Before the Christian Era" or "Before the Common Era" which is more acceptable to countries that have no or few Christians.
Similarly CE (Christian Era, or Common Era) are being used instead of AD.
