BC= negative number
AD= Positive number
Add the two year values together and subtract 1, to allow for the fact that there was no year zero. So from 1 BC to 1 AD is 1 year. 1 + 1 - 1 = 1. From 10 BC to 40 AD is 49. 10 + 40 - 1 = 49.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
Oh, dude, let me grab my calculator... Okay, so 776 BC to 396 AD is like adding 776 years and 396 years, which is 1172 years in total. But wait, we gotta subtract 1 because there's no year zero. So, the answer is 1171 years between 776 BC and 396 AD. Cool, right?
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
BC comes before AD on a timeline. BC or BCE means before common era, AD means "In the year of Our Lord."BC first AD after
BC= stands for Befor Christ(count down) AD= stands for nAnno Domini(in the year of the lord) You know when years counted down right? Well that is BC. Then AD is when the years count up. When the abbreviations are the same then subtract(-) if they are different the add(+) 500 BC And 500 AD its 1,000 years! Now do you get it? If you still dont get it.... ASK YOUR TEACHER!

The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.

BC : before Christ AD : anno domino
2017 - 100,000 = -97,983 As there was NO year 0 (as zero hadn't been invented when Dennis the Little renumbered the years in what he/we call 531 AD) 1 BC preceded 1 AD and so subtract an extra year → 100,000 years before 2017 AD is 97,984 BC
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
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
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
