BC which stands for Before Christ has been changed to something a little less religious, and a little more accurately description wise. It is now B.C.E. which stands for Before Christian Era. (It also stands for Before Common Era)

AD which stands for Anno Domini or Year of Our Lord, has been changed to CE which stands for Common Era or Christian Era.

There is no difference date wise, any date that was BC is now the same date but the abbreviation is B.C.E. No matter what, the number stays the same

What year would it be 31688 years ago?

Asked on 4 Jan 2013 AD, so 31688 years ago it would have been:2013 AD - 31688 = -29675 ADNegative AD dates are BC, but when Dionysius Exiguus devised the AD/BC calendar (in the year 247 Anno Diocletiani, which he called 531 AD) zero (0) had not been invented, so 1 AD was preceeded by 1 BC, so -29675 AD becomes 29,676 BC.

How many years between 400BC and 1500AD?

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.
