why does it start on 101 and not 100? edit

How can I see the last edit summary? Is year 0 (let's say June, year 0), is in the first century AD or BC? If we start counting on 0, then 0.5 should be already in the first century, decade, etc. 5.22.135.239 (talk) 13:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100s_(decade)
"The 100s decade ran from January 1, 100, to December 31, 109."
The same should apply for the century... 5.22.135.239 (talk) 16:05, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Theres no year 0. After 31 Dec 1 BC is 1 Jan 1 AD. For century this can help https://www.ncesc.com/how-long-is-a-decade-and-a-century/ Danial Bass (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
ok but there is year 100, and it doesn't make sense that the decade starts on year 100, but the century starts on year 101. 5.22.135.239 (talk) 20:43, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
That would mean that the first year of the 100's decade is in one century, and the other 9 years are in the following century. 5.22.135.239 (talk) 21:10, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Since a century is a 100 years, 1 AD to 100 AD is 100 years. So 101 to 200 is the next hundred years. I don't see a problem here Danial Bass (talk) 21:12, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
