How years are there between 195 BCE and 755 CE?

To calculate the number of years between 195 BCE and 755 CE, you add the absolute values of both years because there is no year 0 in the transition from BCE to CE. Thus, it is 195 years (BCE) + 755 years (CE) = 950 years. Therefore, there are 950 years between 195 BCE and 755 CE.

No, 1 BCE (Before Common Era) and 1 CE (Common Era) are not the same year. 1 BCE is the year immediately before 1 CE, marking the transition from the BCE to CE calendar system. There is no year 0 in this system; the sequence goes directly from 1 BCE to 1 CE.


How do you read time using BCE toCE?

BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) are secular terms used to denote years in the Gregorian calendar. BCE counts years backward from the year 1 CE, so, for example, 500 BCE is 500 years before the start of the Common Era. CE starts from year 1 onward, with 1 CE being the first year, followed by 2 CE, 3 CE, and so on. Thus, the transition from BCE to CE occurs at year 1, with no year 0 in between.
