We can say that bc (or bce) ended with the start of the common era (denoted by ad or ce).
Present estimates put the age of the earth at 4.54 billion years, plus or minus 45 million. So, if it is meaningful to start counting from the beginning of the world, then that would be about 4.54 billion years bc.

The abbreviation "BC" stands for "Before Christ" and marks years before the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. It started counting backwards from the year considered to be the birth of Christ, which is generally believed to be around 4 to 6 BC.
