BC ends when AD begins: 1 BC comes before 1 AD. There is no year "0".
"BC" stands for "Before Christ", and "AD" stands for "Anno Domini", which in Latin means "in the year of the Lord".
Scholars prefer to use "BCE" and "CE", which stand for "Before the Common Era" and "Common Era", respectively, to mean the same thing as "BC" and "AD", but do not imply Christian connotation.
BC stands for "Before Christ" while AD stands for "Anno Domini", which is a Latin phrase meaning "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ".
BC and AD are supposed to separate time with the birth of Jesus Christ, the central figure of the Christian religion. Jesus was likely born 4 to 7 years earlier than first estimated, so the calendar is inaccurate by a few years in that respect.
There is an immediate transition between the years B. C. and A. D. Although the A. D. or the "Year of Our Lord" was supposed to mark the birth of Jesus Christ, it is believed that He was actually born around A. D. 3 to 6.
There are 3,758 years from 1750 BC to 2008 AD.

60 + 2016 = 2076 years.

no, the 16th century begins with the year 1500 and ends with the year 1599. the year 1600 begins the 17th century.
If you're talking about BC and AD, BC has always been refered to as Before Christ. AD has always been refered to as After Death. Both these statements are wrong. Christ Jesus was born around 4 BC and died around 37 AD. AD actually stands for the Latin phrase Anno Domini meaning "in the year of our Lord". I hope this answers your question.Ignoring the question of exactly when Christ was born, the last year BC was 1 BC and the first year AD was AD 1. There is no zero year in either system. The years just go ... 5 BC, 4 BC, 3 BC, 2 BC, 1 BC, AD 1, AD 2, AD 3, AD 4, AD 5 ...Each century AD starts on a 01 year (e.g. 1901) and ends on a 00 year (e.g. 2000), the given example was the beginning and ending of the 20th century. Each century BC starts on a 00 year and ends on a 01 year, as the years count backward.
The last date of BC was 1 BC, then the first date of AD was 1 AD, there was no zero.
Okay Will AD is older than BC because AD is very old not like BC
BC : before Christ AD : anno domino
58 years are between 30 BC and AD 30. The first thing you need to remember is that there is no year 0; the year before AD 1 is 1 BC. So the years between 30 BC and AD 30 are... 29 BC, 28 BC, 27 BC, ..., 2 BC, 1 BC, AD1, AD 2, ..., AD 27, AD 28, AD 29 29 BC through 1 BC is 29 years, and AD 1 through AD 29 is 29 years. 29 years + 29 years = 58 years
It isn't a question of closer to ad or bc, it IS bc. 3000bc would be -3000ad.
Nothing. There was no time period between BC and AD. 1 BC was followed by 1 AD. There was no year zero or any gap between BC and AD.
bc comes first because bc stands for before christ
Ad because bc started after
BC= negative number AD= Positive number
BC - Before Christ AD - Anno Domini
BC is before AD (Before Christ) (After Death)
