BC is before christ. Which is basically the same as BCE, or before common era. Most people think AD means After Death, or After Death of Christ, but that is impossible. Jesus, or christ, died about 36 AD. If it is After death, he cannot have died. He was born 1 AD, as BC is before his creation. AD actually means Anno Domini, meaning years of our lord. In conclusion, AD is during the time Jesus lived. AL is after Life. Which is basically the life after you die.

What is the 33 years between bc and ad called?

There were no years at all between BC and AD. 1BC was immediately followed by 1AD. There was not even a year zero. Some think there was a year zero between BC and AD; others think there were 33 years between BC and AD, but neither of these are correct. BC is Before Christ. AD is not After Death, but Anno Domini, meaning the Year of Our Lord. So you had up to the time he was born, and from when he was born onwards, with nothing between them.

How many years are there between 30 BC and 30 AD and why?

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
