Year 0. A. D. stands for Anno Domini, or "year of our Lord" and represents the year Jesus was born. It's probably off a few years, but it was as close as they could calculate when the Gregorian calendar was devised.
Answer BC/BCE- Before Christ/ before common era. BC was the time before year 0. AD/CE- anno domini/ Common Era. The year Christ was born, 0 A.D, was the beginning of the Common Era, as it can also be called.
in the 1000,0000 bc ad
In BC there weren't any Kings or Queens of England. The Kings start being counted from 613 AD. So Elizabeth I was Queen in 1558 AD (After BC)
it must be BC , because later on birth of Jesus Christ (start of AD), the metals were discovered, and there were no stone age remaining on that time.
At the beginnning of the world. Nobody can be exactly sure when.
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
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
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
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
Ad because bc started after
