Detailed explanation-1: -This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus, AD counting years from the start of this epoch and BC denoting years before the start of the era. There is no year zero in this scheme; thus the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC.
Detailed explanation-2: -AD stands for two Latin words, ‘Anno Domini*, meaning ‘in the year of the Lord’ (ie. Christ) . The year 2022, also written as AD 2022, means 2022 years after the birth of Christ. BC stands for Before Christ’, meaning before the birth of Christ. A time period written as 500 BC means 500 years before the birth of Christ.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
