Detailed Solution

The years after the birth of Jesus Christ are counted as AD.
The years following Christ are AD ('Anno Domini,' which translates to 'in the year of our Lord). From the year of Christ's birth, they are calculated forward. The idea of using the era in which Jesus lived has gained widespread acceptance. BC stands for before Christ, and therefore if something happened 1000 years BC, it happened 1000 years before the birth of Christ. Then the period after that is known as AD (after Christ's death, when translated from Latin). Hence, this calendar period is based on the commonly accepted year when Jesus was conceived or born, calculating years from that point forward.
