When does BC ends and AD begins?

Answer 1

BC ends when AD begins: 1 BC comes before 1 AD. There is no year "0".

"BC" stands for "Before Christ", and "AD" stands for "Anno Domini", which in Latin means "in the year of the Lord".

Scholars prefer to use "BCE" and "CE", which stand for "Before the Common Era" and "Common Era", respectively, to mean the same thing as "BC" and "AD", but do not imply Christian connotation.

Answer 2

None. The calendar goes from 1 BC to 1 AD, without any intermediary year. Because of the lack of a year zero, it is difficult to mathematically calculate the exact amount of years between, say, 45 BC and 2011 AD.

Answer 3

BC stands for "Before Christ" while AD stands for "Anno Domini", which is a Latin phrase meaning "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ".

BC and AD are supposed to separate time with the birth of Jesus Christ, the central figure of the Christian religion. Jesus was likely born 4 to 7 years earlier than first estimated, so the calendar is inaccurate by a few years in that respect.

Answer 4

There is an immediate transition between the years B. C. and A. D. Although the A. D. or the "Year of Our Lord" was supposed to mark the birth of Jesus Christ, it is believed that He was actually born around A. D. 3 to 6.

Answer 5

AD.

BC is before Christ.

AD is Anno Domini. though, many just say, After Death.
