Question

Difference between A.D and Century

Answer 1

Answer:

AD or A.D. stands for Anno Domini and is a label for numbering years after Christ was born. BC or B.C. means Before Christ. The year Christ was born is considered AD 1 and the year before that is labeled 1 BC. Historians use a nomenclature with less religious connotation: namely CE/BCE where CE means "Common Era" and BCE stands for Before Common Era. Although the labels used are different, BC and BCE are the same and so are AD and CE. This system of numbering years was invented by Dionysius Exiguus in AD 525 and is used in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
