BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") represent a system of dating that counts years backward from the estimated birth year of Jesus Christ for BC and forward for AD. Time flows in reverse for BC, with 1 BC immediately preceding AD 1; there is no year zero in this system. Thus, the timeline transitions directly from 1 BC to AD 1, marking the division between the two eras. This system is widely used in the Gregorian calendar, which is the most common calendar today.
