Detailed explanation-1: -AD stands for Anno Domini, Latin for “in the year of the Lord”, while BC stands for “before Christ”.
Detailed explanation-2: -The full form of AD is Anno Domini. Anno Domini is Medieval Latin and means “in the year of the Lord". The purpose of the B.C./A.D. dating system was to make the birth of Jesus Christ the dividing point of world history. AD counts years from the start of this epoch, and BC denotes years before the start of the era.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simply put, BCE (Before Common Era) is a secular version of BC (before Christ). CE (Common Era) is the secular equivalent of AD (anno Domini), which means “in the year of the Lord” in Latin.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the AD year numbering system, whether applied to the Julian or Gregorian calendars, AD 1 is immediately preceded by 1 BC, with nothing in between them (there was no year zero).
Detailed explanation-5: -Simply put, AD refers to the calendar era that occurred after the birth of Jesus Christ. Traditionally, the accepted year of Christ’s birth is considered AD 1, and the year just before the birth year of Jesus Christ is considered 1 BC.
