The Difference Between BC and AD.

• AD- stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for "year of our Lord," and it means the number of years since the birth of Jesus Christ. That was 2000 years ago, so the date 500 A.D. means 1500 years ago.

• BC-It stands for Before Christ, and it means the number of years before the birth of Jesus Christ. That was 2000 years ago, so the date 552 B.C. means 2552 years ago.

• Some people use B.C.E. instead. That stands for Before the Common Era, and is used in order to avoid Christian references.
