BC stands for "Before Christ," referring to the years before the estimated birth year of Jesus Christ. A.D. stands for "Anno Domini," which is Latin for "in the year of our Lord," indicating the years following Christ's birth. Together, they are used to label or number years in the Gregorian calendar.
The full form of A.D. is Anno Domini and the full form of B.C. is Before Christ.
The period from 26 BC to 26 AD spans a total of 52 years. This includes 26 years in the BC era and 26 years in the AD era. Since there is no year 0, the transition from BC to AD accounts for the full count of years.
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
BC = Before Christ. AD = Anno Domini (latin) the year of Christ's birth.
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.

Anno Domini
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
be careful
BC : before Christ AD : anno domino

It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
