Quick answer is: AD before year. BC After year.

AD (Anno Domini) is a Latin phrase meaning "Year of our Lord" and is historically used before the year (AD 1787). Later, Western Europeans followed the Latin Precedence and also placed the AD before the numeric year (also a historic fact).

BC having its advent in Christianity means "Before Christ." With no Latin Precedence, it was/is used after the numeric year (100 BC).

With that said, the previous answer (Answer BC = BCE (Before Common Era) & AD = ACE (After Common Era)) is total nonsensical garbage designed to take Christ out of our heritage. Unfortunately for Boidar, that simply won't work!
