The AD year sign indicated the number of years since the traditionally reckoned date of birth of Jesus Christ. The AH year sign is an Islamic calendar reference with the first year beginning in AD 622. During this year the Islamic Prophet Muhammad emigrated from Mecca to Medina.
St. Cecilia was born in the 2nd century AD, around the year 200 AD.
St. Thomas the Apostle was probably born about the year 1 AD.
The Council of Nicea took place in the year 325 AD.
It doesn't. AD stands for Anno Domini which is Latin for the year of our Lord http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Domini Based on year 1 of our calendar being the year that Jesus Christ ("Our Lord") was born
He was ordained a bishop about the year AD 432 or 433.
The year difference between BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") is not a straightforward numerical calculation because there is no year 0 in this system. The transition goes directly from 1 BC to AD 1. Therefore, the difference between 1 BC and AD 1 is one year, while the total span between any two years across these eras can be calculated by simply adding the two years together. For example, from 500 BC to AD 500 is a span of 1000 years.
AD means that Anno Domini , the year of lord and BD means that Before Christ
Remembering that there was no year zero, it is 2959 years.
Since there was no year zero, the midway point between 50 BC and 50 AD would probably be the middle of the year 1 BC.
To calculate the difference between 1000 BC and 2010 AD, you add the two years together since there is no year zero in the transition from BC to AD. This results in a difference of 3010 years (1000 years from 1000 BC to 1 AD, plus 2010 years from 1 AD to 2010 AD). Thus, there are 3010 years between 1000 BC and 2010 AD.
Remembering that there was no year zero, the answer is 799 years.
There was no year zero, so the answer is 29 years.
1960 years
Ad is higher than ac
what is that...
Add the two year values together and subtract 1, to allow for the fact that there was no year zero. So from 1 BC to 1 AD is 1 year. 1 + 1 - 1 = 1. From 10 BC to 40 AD is 49. 10 + 40 - 1 = 49.
Could be either. That is the whole purpose of designating the BC or AD, so that you know which of the two it is. There is a difference of 828 years between the two. However, it is typical that if neither is designated, that the assumption would be that it is AD.
