What does the year 3 ad mean?
Three years after A.D. (Anno Domini). One A.D. is marked in the calendar as the birth of Christ. Before one A.D., it is denoted B.C. (Before Christ) or B.C.E. (Before Common Era), depending on which one the author has chosen to use.
Who many yeaes between 100 BCE and 500 CE?
Excluding 100BC and 500AD, there are: In BC: 99BC to 1BC = 99 years In AD: 1AD to 499AD = 499 years In total 99 + 499 = 598 years. Including 100BC and 500AD, there are: In BC: 100BC to 1BC = 100 years In AD: 1AD to 500AD = 500 years In total 100 + 500 = 600 years. You may be wondering about the lack of year 0. The BC/AD system of calendar was devised by an abbot called Dionysius Exiguus in the year designated as 247 anno Diocletiani (year of Diocletian). However, as Diocletian was a notorious persecutor of Christians, and so Dionysius decided to use anno Domini (year of the Lord) to describe the year; he worked out Christ had been born some 531 years earlier; in his time zero did not exist (as a concept) and so his first year, the year of Christ's birth, became 1AD (with the previous year now being known as 1BC). Thus 247 anno Diocletian became 531 anno Domini in the calendar system we now use.
Does everyone use BC and AD?
The entire civilized world uses the same calendar whose years are based on "Before Christ" and "After Christ", yes. Even though this is a Christian calendar, all of the non-Christian world has adopted it as a matter of convenience to have the same year everywhere. It is 2011 AD throughout the world. Some people think that "AD" is offensive because it means "Anno Domini", a Latin phrase for "in the year of the Lord", so they use "CE" (Common Era) in place of "AD".
What is todays Julian date?
Scientific Julian date depends not only on date, but also on time For example, 26 of January 2012, 20:33:38 (8PM) makes JD=2455953.356689815 But militaries use Julian Date in another way and 26 of January 2012 for militaries makes 201226. Actually militaries do not use "Julian Date", they use "Ordinal Date" (but they call it Julian)

The initials 'ad' are an abbreviation of the Latin term, anno domini - "The year of the Lord. It is also becoming more common to use the modern initials 'ce', which simply mean "common era".
What does AD means in 450 AD?
AD means Anno Domini, which means 'in the year of Our Lord' in Latin.(In Latin, the word 'anno' includes 'in the')A.D. stands for "anno domini," Latin for "year of the Lord." It is theoretically based on the time of the birth of Jesus, though it may be off by a few years.Many people are beginning to use C.E. ("Christian Era") instead of A.D., and also B.C.E ("Before Christian Era") instead of B.C. ("Before Christ").AnswerAD is an acronym for the Latin term anno Domini, meaning the year (anno) of the Lord (Domini). It is now becoming common to use the alternative acronym CE, which means Common Era or Christian Era. Anno Domini (latin) meaning in the year of our lordAD - stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for in the year of Our Lord - in other words after the birth of Christ.As a chronological designation it was invented by Dionysius Exiguus in 525 A.D. to Christianize the study and presentation of history by orienting every event to the birth of Christ. So events before Christ was born are called B.C. and those after his birth are called A.D.
What does AD stand for when refering to a date?
The meaning of AD is Anno Domini or Year of our Lord referring to the year of Christ's birth. AD also means "after death", meaning after the death of Jesus Christ. *I disagree. After Death is incorrect; Anno Domini is the only proper meaning of AD.
Why is BC in English and AD in latin?
BC is the English word for Before ChristAD is the English word for after christ (Anno Domini)if you want to say BC in other languages you must use different words.In Italy BC is AC (Avanti Cristo=Before Christ) and AD is DC (Dopo Cristo= after Christ) and you know that Italian is a language that comes from latinBC is actually a term implemented by modern society- but AD was started by the Romans. Anno Domini actually means 'In the year of our lord' which does in fact refer to Christ.AD is not the 'English word' for after christ, Anno Domini is Latin.
When did anno domini start?
By all accounts, Anno Domini (the year of Our Lord) started 4 years after Jesus Christ was born. It depends on who you use for reference. In any case, The year now is 2009 so year 0 would have been 2010 years before. Think of it like a birthday...a baby's first birthday is the day it was born (year 0).
What is CE and AD?
Nothing 1AD = 1CE AD is Anno Domini "year of our Lord" (Jesus Christ) CE is Common Era, a political correct version of AD Technically, C.E and A.D are not the same thing. C. E stands for common era whereas A.D stands for Anno Domini. Many people use B.C.E/C.E (before common era/common era) to remove the bridge between Christianity and history. B.C (before Christ) and A.D (Anno Domini or from the time of Christ's birth) are used by most Christians because we base our history on God's timing, not ours. Throughout history, you can see God using events and people to make everything work according to his planning. Changing of the labelling is done only to suit the view of others, ie. for "political correctness".
Years should be written using Anno Domini System?
This question is vague so I will answer as best as possible. Years may be written in any format in literature. You can choose to use the Anno Domini system or you can use the less religiously charged version BCE/CE (Before the Commone Era/ Common Era) In research papers, the standard form is BC or AD but BCE and CE are becoming more common. If you are referring to writing a piece you would use thecalendar system that works best for your material. For example, when writing about China you may want to use the Chinese calendar.

[day of the week],[month][number][st,nd,rd,th],[year] A.D. A.D. is, however, no longer the accepted term It is more acceptable to use C.E.
Does ac stand for after Jesus Christ?
A.D Stands for 'Anno Domini'- Latin for "The age of our Lord" Beginning when Jesus of Nazareth was born. B.C Simply meaning 'Before Christ'. A non-religious alternative to the use of B.C is 'Before common Era' in designating the first period of the Gregorian Calendar, the era of prehistory and antiquity. Replacing Anno Domini is now C.E, 'Common Era'.
Why don't you use the abbreviation AD anymore?
AD, which stands for "anno Domini" in Latin, is still used widely as a reference point for dates. However, the abbreviation CE (Common Era) is also commonly used as a secular alternative to AD to avoid religious connotations. Both are still in use, but CE is gaining popularity for its inclusivity.
