well B.C stands for Before Christ and A.D stands for After Death so before Christ was born and after his Death
ad-anno domini bc-before christ these are the time period
The letters AD on a time line stand for Anno Domini.Translated into English from the Latin, that means "Year of our Lord." This is the year counted from the supposed birth of the Christian's Jesus. Present usage is to keep the AD year count but use CE (Common Era) as the descriptor. Similarly BC (Before Christ) becomes BCE (Before Common Era)
The year before the year One AD is called the year One BC. (There was no year zero.) We call it that now, according to the Gregorian Calendar. At the time it was called different names in different places where other calendars were used. This means that from the year 5 BC to the year 5 AD, for example, was 9 years, not 10 as you might expect if there had been a year zero. And today, there are people who use CE (Common Era) for the AD years and BCE (Before the Common Era) for the BC years.
AD is after and BC before
no it was not called year 0 it was called AD 1
Define a "i need ad"
BC = before christ AD = Anno Domini (year of our Lord) we are in the year 2011, time before year 1 was BC time afterwards (what we live in) is AD
ad=after death bc=before christ this is how i remember it
AD or Anno Domini in latin means 'in the year of our lord'. 0 AD is when jesus is supposed to have died. all time before that is now known as BC and all time after is AD. BC (before christ)
BC is the time before jesus christ was born therefore BC is BEFORE CHRIST and AD refers to the time after christ was born
BC means before Christ and AD stands for Anno Domini (year of the lord). BC is before the birth of Christ and AD are the years after the birth. People often use BC as Before the Common era and CE for Common Era (CE). Not all people are christian.
ad-anno domini bc-before christ these are the time period
There was no period between BC and AD. One followed the other. After 1 BC was the year 1 AD. There was no year zero or anything else between BC and AD. BC is Before Christ. AD is Anno Domini, the time of Our Lord, so basically from when he was born. So there is no time period in between before he was born and when he was born.
They measure time before and after the birth of Christ
201 AD comes before 1530 AD.
there is no years such as 0. the period of time is differentiated in to two. AD(Anno Domini) and BC(Before Christ). the years are calculated from starting AD and ending BC
Ad means ano domini and bc means before christ bc and ad are both time periods in history bc was before Jesus was born and ad is the time period that we are in now hope I have kind of answered your question
