Ad means ano domini and bc means before christ bc and ad are both time periods in history bc was before Jesus was born and ad is the time period that we are in now hope I have kind of answered your question
Spans of times can be calculated by equating BC or Before Christ with a negative sign and AD for Anno Domino with a positive sign. Therefore the time span will be the absolute value of the difference between years.
BC comes first because BC means before AD and AD means After something cant really remember LOL!!
To understand this, should know two concepts. The birth of Jesus Christ is the dividing point of world history. From the point, left (BC) turns minus and right (AD) turns plus. BC (Before Christ) : - AD (Anoo Domini) : + This year is 2017 AD so 2017+323 = 2340 years ago from now.
AD or Anno Domini in latin means 'in the year of our lord'. 0 AD is when jesus is supposed to have died. all time before that is now known as BC and all time after is AD. BC (before christ)
its AD and BC, and AD means anno domini (greek) means after the birth of christ and BC stands for before christ,before the birth of jesus. RG
To calculate the difference between 1000 BC and 2010 AD, you add the two years together since there is no year zero in the transition from BC to AD. This results in a difference of 3010 years (1000 years from 1000 BC to 1 AD, plus 2010 years from 1 AD to 2010 AD). Thus, there are 3010 years between 1000 BC and 2010 AD.
To find the number of years between 400 BC and 1500 AD, we need to calculate the difference between the two dates. First, let's convert 400 BC to BC to AD: 400 BC is equal to 400 years before the start of the AD era. Since the AD era starts at 1 AD, we add 400 years to 1 AD to get: 400 BC + 400 years = 1 AD Now, we can calculate the difference between 1 AD and 1500 AD: 1500 AD - 1 AD = 1499 years So, there are 1499 years between 400 BC and 1500 AD.
Since there was no year zero, the midway point between 50 BC and 50 AD would probably be the middle of the year 1 BC.
The year difference between BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") is not a straightforward numerical calculation because there is no year 0 in this system. The transition goes directly from 1 BC to AD 1. Therefore, the difference between 1 BC and AD 1 is one year, while the total span between any two years across these eras can be calculated by simply adding the two years together. For example, from 500 BC to AD 500 is a span of 1000 years.
BC means Before Christ AD means Anno Domino CE means Common Era
2370 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 goes before 0 on the timeline. AD goes after. BC stands for "before Chris" as if Jesus Chris. becouse it is befor jesus was born. AD stands for after death. i think it is obvious why.
739 BC happened 739 years before the birth of Christ, and 465 AD happened 465 years after his death.
The difference between the fractions a/b and c/d = abs[(ad - bc)/bd]
Could be either. That is the whole purpose of designating the BC or AD, so that you know which of the two it is. There is a difference of 828 years between the two. However, it is typical that if neither is designated, that the assumption would be that it is AD.
Remembering that there was no year zero, the answer is 799 years.
