The entire civilized world uses the same calendar whose years are based on "Before Christ" and "After Christ", yes. Even though this is a Christian calendar, all of the non-Christian world has adopted it as a matter of convenience to have the same year everywhere. It is 2011 AD throughout the world.

Some people think that "AD" is offensive because it means "Anno Domini", a Latin phrase for "in the year of the Lord", so they use "CE" (Common Era) in place of "AD".

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


What is mean AD AND BC?

BC = Before Christ. AD = Anno Domini (latin) the year of Christ's birth.

Very rarely. Most dates are simply assumed to be AD - unless there is a need to distinguish between AD and BC.


How many years separate 500 BC to AD 500?

To calculate the years between 500 BC and AD 500, you add the years in BC to the years in AD. There are 500 years from 500 BC to 1 BC and another 500 years from AD 1 to AD 500. Therefore, the total is 500 + 500 = 1000 years.


Can you always find another fraction in between ant two fractions why?

Yes. The simple answer is that rational fractions are infinitely dense. A longer proof follows:Suppose you have two fractions a/b and c/d where a, b, c and d are integers and b, d are positive integers.Without loss of generality, assume a/b < c/d.The inequality implies that ad < bc so that bc-ad>0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (I)Consider (ad + bc)/(2bd)Then (ad+bc)/2bd - a/b = (ad+bc)/2bd - 2ad/2bd = (bc-ad)/2bdBy definition, b and d are positive so bd is positive and by result (I), the numerator is positive.That is to say, (ad+bc)/2bd - a/b > 0 or (ad+bc)/2bd > a/b.Similarly, by considering c/d - (ad+bc)/2bd is can be shown that c/d > (ad+bc)/2bd.Combining these results,a/b < (ad+bc)/2bd < c/d.
