Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The short answer is that BC and BCE both refer to years before the birth of Jesus Christ, and AD and CE both refer to years after the birth of Jesus Christ. BC and AD reference Christ’s birth directly, while BCE and CE are more secular ways to tell time.
Detailed explanation-2: -BC, BCE, and CE come after the year. Write or say 300 BC or 300 before Christ, 300 BCE or 300 before common era, and 2015 CE or 2015 common era. However, AD comes before the year, so write or say AD 2015 or anno Domini 2015.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to this system, we count time backwards Before the Common Era (B.C.E.) and forwards in the Common Era (C.E.).
