AD = Anno Domini which means after christ

BC = Before Christ which means literally before christ

Therefore 30 AD isn't even before Christ, it's 30 years after.

BC is equal to how many years?

It stands for Before Christ. The initials BC and AD (Anno Domini) were created after the 525 Easter as a way to divide dates as occurring before or after Christ's birth.

AD refers to any year after or including the birth of Christ (They were off by a few years in their calculations). The first year AD is 1 AD, intended to be the year of Christ's birth. Preceding 1 AD is the year 1 BC. There was no 12 month period designated Year Zero.
