AD - Anno Domini (latin for "In the year of our lord") and BC - Before Christ

BC is Before Christ - Everything before his birth.
I am not sure what AD stands for, but it is after the birth of Christ.
Edit**
I would say the Anno Domini people are correct. After Death is not right, many just use that term. Jesus was 33 when he died so that would mean that there is a 33 year gap in the calender.

BC is formerly Christ - each and every thing formerly his delivery. i'm not sure what advert stands for, even though it particularly is after the delivery of Christ. Edit** i could say the Anno Domini each and every person is superb. After dying isn't suitable, many basically use that ingredient era. Jesus grew to become into 33 while he died so as that could propose that there is a 33 3 hundred and sixty 5 days hollow in the calender.

Anno Domini and it means in the year of our Lord, so all years after christ was born are AD and we count from that point up so the years go low to high. We live in 2007 AD, that is 2007 years since christ was born.
BC means before Christ and the date years go in reserve order (high to low) so the year before Christ was born would be 1 BC 10 years before 10 BC and so on

BC- Before Christ.
AD- Anno Dommini. It means In the year of our lord. But along the way, some idiot mis counted and it is not really christs birthday, he was born some 4-6 years earlier.

BC = Before Christ. In the secular world of today, it often is restated as BCE which is Before Common Era but refers to the same period of time.
AD = Anno Domini which means The Year of Our Lord in Latin. This is often restated as CE today (again, pertaining to the same period as AD). CE is the abbreviation of Common Era. Some people think AD means "After Death" but this is incorrect and can be shown to be invalid for a number of reasons, the predominant one being that Christ is said to have died in approximately 30-36 AD

AD = Anno Domini = The Year of Our Lord (the years since Jesus' birth)
BC = Before Christ
On a related note, the medieval monk who calculated the 'year one' was off somewhat. If Jesus was born before the death of Herod the Great, then he was born before 4 BC.

BC - Before Christ (from the Ancient Greek "Christos" or "Anointed One", referring to Jesus), abbreviated as BC or B.C., is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this epoch.
AD - Anno Domini (Latin : "In the year of (Our) Lord"[1]), abbreviated as AD or A.D.

AD = Anno domini (the year of our Lord) and BC= Before Christ, respectively. Incidentally, many historians are now using the term B.C.E. (before common era) in place of AD.
