A.D. refers to the common era as it's understood in the West, used by extension to varying degrees around the world. The current year is A.D. 2009. A.D. is short for "anno domini," Latin for "In the ____ year of the Lord," as thus refers to the life of Jesus Christ, who is Lord in Christianity. Christianity has of course long been a dominant religion of the Western world. Theoretically, Jesus' first year of life was A.D. 1, which is why we say November 22, A.D. 2009 for today, meaning the 22nd day of November in the 2009th year of the (Christians') Lord. (In actual fact, there was a miscalculation, and Jesus was born a few years before the year we now call A.D. 1.) A.D. is always to precede the numeral, thus: A.D. 2009, not 2009 A.D.
C.E. for "common era" is a popular alternative to A.D. The use of C.E. acknowledges that counting years from Jesus' birth is a practice Christians and non-Christians hold in common, even if non-Christians don't consider Jesus their Lord.
B.C. refers to years "before Christ." After 2 B.C. (two years before Christ) came 1 B.C. (the year before Christ), and then A.D. 1 (Christ's first year), A.D. 2, and so on. Ten years before A.D. 5 was 6 B.C., so be careful in your calculations. B.C. always comes after the numeral, so don't say "B.C. 100": say "100 B.C."
B.C.E. is short for "before the common era" and thus stands in for B.C. whenever C.E. stands in for A.D. I believe C.E. and B.C.E. usually follow the numeral: thus, 2009 C.E. or 44 B.C.E.

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.
